England full-back Ellie Kildunne is joining Bristol Bears for the 2026-27 Premier Women’s Rugby (PWR) season, multiple outlets report. The move comes after her exit from Harlequins at the end of the 2026 season. Sky Sports, Sky News, the BBC and Yahoo Sports all describe Kildunne as an England international and confirm that Bristol Bears have announced the signing. The sources agree that her transfer is for the 2026-27 campaign and that it follows her departure from Harlequins rather than a mid-season change. While the reports consistently cover the timing and the clubs involved, they do not provide additional detail on the length of her contract, terms of the deal, or specific role within Bristol’s squad beyond her position as a full-back. Overall, the accounts converge on the central points: Kildunne leaves Harlequins after the 2026 season and joins Bristol Bears ahead of the 2026-27 PWR season.
