Joyce-Butchers to return to Bristol for 2024-25

Jasmine Joyce-Butchers will represent Great Britain in rugby sevens at her third Olympics in Paris

Olympic-bound Jasmine Joyce-Butchers will return to Bristol Bears for the 2024-25 season after representing Team GB in rugby sevens in Paris.

The 28-year-old is one of Wales' most potent attacking talents and has 38 international caps in the 15-a-side code.

Joyce-Butchers last played for the Bears during 2022-23 and spent the last year focusing on reaching her third Olympic Games in sevens.

But the back will return to club rugby union full-time with Bristol, who she first signed for in 2020, for the new Premiership Women's season where she plays on the wing and at full-back.

"I'm so excited to be returning to the Bears squad next season and can't wait to get stuck in after the Olympic Games in Paris this summer," she told the club's website.

"This club means a lot to me and it’s a special squad – I believe we can go all the way next season and I'm looking forward to playing my part in helping us to achieve that dream."
