Leicester Tigers can confirm a trio of additions to the women's squad ahead of the new season.

Wales international Abbey Constable, Sophie Benavent and Emma Mundy have signed on as part of Tom Hudson's squad, who kick off their campaign on Saturday at Mattioli Woods Welford Road against Sale Sharks (12.30pm) in the first round of the PWR Up Series. 

Constable, who joins from Gloucester-Hartpury, and Benavent, who has represented the Army in the inter-forces series over a number of years, are both props, while Mundy is an outside-back who has spent time with Gloucester-Hartpury and Championship clubs Richmond and Cheltenham Tigers.

Speaking about the signings Hudson said: "Abbey and Sophie both bring exceptional firepower to our front-row, while I have worked with Emma before and know the strengths she brings to our group."

"All three are not only positive additions to the playing ranks but also quality people off the field, who add valuable experience to our squad.

"I am excited about having them and seeing them get to work ahead of the new season."

Constable will join up with the group after international commitments with Wales, while Benavent and Mundy have begun training with the squad.
