Wales scrum-half Ffion Lewis has signed for the Chicago Lions women’s sevens team.

The former Bristol Bear left Wales’ professional programme after being told her contract was not going to be renewed this summer.

She was allowed to leave in the middle of the 2025 Women’s Six Nations to protect her mental health and to pursue other opportunities in the United States.

The 29-year-old hinted she was “closing the chapter” on her international career but that she was “nowhere near done with the game”.

Lewis won 33 caps after making her debut in 2018, but in more recent years her career was blighted by a serious knee injury and severe symptoms of endometriosis.

She was one of a number of senior players that Wales’ new head coach Sean Lynn decided not to keep on, with fly-half Niamh Terry, centre Meg Webb and wing Carys Williams-Morris also becoming free agents in June.

Chicago Lions have enjoyed success at Midwest and national level in the United States.
