Wales wing Lisa Neumann has joined Leicester Tigers for the 2026-27 Premiership Women’s Rugby (PWR) season.

The 32-year-old left Harlequins after two seasons this summer.

Neumann scored six tries in 22 games in her first season at The Stoop, but struggled for game time last season, playing just once for the club.

She instead found minutes with Brython Thunder in the Celtic Challenge.

Neumann also suffered a season-ending hamstring injury against Scotland in the first round of the 2026 Six Nations.

She has also had spells with PWR sides Sale Sharks and Gloucester-Hartpury.

“I’m really excited to be joining Tigers this season,” said Neumann.

“This team is building something exciting, so I’m really looking forward to being a part of that.

“I feel this is an environment where I can grow, be supported and hopefully add some value.

“It’s a fun new chapter for me, and I can’t wait to meet the girls and enjoy my rugby here.”
