Ilona Maher: Bristol Bears signs US star to play in PWR - BBC Sport

American Olympic bronze medallist Ilona Maher has signed for Bristol Bears for the rest of the Premiership Women's Rugby season.

Maher is the most followed rugby union player in the world on social media, with 4.5 million Instagram followers and 3.2 million on TikTok.

Bears head coach Dave Ward said Maher's arrival is a "huge coup" for the club.

"Ilona is one of the biggest names in women's sport, let alone rugby, and we believe she will add real value to our programme on and off the field," said Ward.
