Try-scoring sensation Lark Atkin-Davies has committed her future to the club with a two-year contract extension in Bear Country.

The 30-year-old hooker, who has won 62 caps for the Red Roses, scored 12 tries in the 2024/25 PWR season and has been prolific for the Bears since arriving from Worcester Warriors in 2022.

Head Coach, Dave Ward, said: “Lark has played some outstanding rugby this season and the levels she has achieved both at set piece and in the loose she must be in the frame for the standout hooker in the world right now.

“The consistency and accuracy of performance she has put in to almost be at 50 appearances shows the impact she has had to the success of the squad, and we can’t wait for what’s to come.”

Atkin-Davies said: “I’m excited to be staying with Bears for another season. This club, the fans, the people and the incredible atmosphere at Ashton Gate and Shaftesbury Park make it a special place to play. I can’t wait to keep building with this team on and off the field.”
