Gloucester-Hartpury are pleased to continue the Club's re-signings for the 2023/24 season with the half-backs.

In addition to co-captain, Natasha Hunt, experienced scrum-half Bianca Blackburn has re-committed her future to the Cherry & Whites.

Blackburn moved to the area to join Hartpury College before attending the University of Gloucestershire.

Whilst at University, Bianca joined Worcester, where she won the league in her first season.

Blackburn has also represented England, including playing a part in their 2017 Six Nations Grand Slam.

Outside Blackburn, last season's Coaches' Player of the Year, Lleucu George, has also extended her stay with the league champions.

A well-rounded fly-half, George was instrumental in last season's Allianz Premier 15s victory, earning Player of the Match for a fine performance against Exeter Chiefs in the final.
