Directors of rugby around the Gallagher Premiership are moving quickly to put the final touches on their squads now all 13 clubs are back in pre-season training.
Here is a look at all the latest transfer rumours and confirmed moves from around the league. Bath Rugby have announced the signing of experienced leader GJ van Velze who will join the club for the 2022/23 season.
The South African is player who can play multiple positions across the back five of the scrum, including second row, however throughout his rugby career has more generally been employed as a number eight.
Somerset Live understands van Velze is not considered a replacement for club captain Charlie Ewels who has been sidelined with an ACL injury sustained on England duty last month, but rather provides depth and experience at number eight with Taulupe Faletau leaving Bath for Cardiff Rugby this summer.
