SALE Sharks have signed England international Morwenna Talling from Loughborough Lightning ahead of the 2023-24 Premier 15s season.
The 20-year-old was part of the Red Roses squad that won this year's Six Nations Grand Slam and has earned seven caps.
The Sharks have also signed her former Loughborough team-mate, 21-year-old flanker Nikita Prothero.
“I've been at Loughborough since the start of my rugby journey and I decided it was time for a new challenge,” said Talling. “Sale Sharks Women have had a great season and you can tell something very special is building here on and off the pitch.
“Moving closer to home was a big part of the decision too. I moved away when I was 16 so to come back up north is really exciting.”
