Wales prop Sisilia Tuipulotu has signed for Harlequins ahead of the 2026/27 season.

Tuipulotu joins the London club from Gloucester-Hartpury, where she scored 20 tries in 67 games for the club.

The Welsh forward made her debut at the West Country club in 2021 against DMP Durham Sharks, quickly establishing herself at international level.

Since making her debut in 2022 against Ireland, Tuipulotu has played 33 times for her country appearing at two Rugby World Cups.

Still just 22 years old, Tuipulotu has already enjoyed plenty of success in her young career, with three PWR titles with Gloucester-Hartpury.

As part of the Circus’ pack, Tuipulotu has become synonymous with creating something out of nothing in broken play, with her powerful ball-carrying and speed across the park.

She has excelled so far in the 2026 Women’s Six Nations, scoring a try against Scotland in the opening round, before putting in impressive showings against France and England.

“I’m really excited to be joining Harlequins!” Tuipulotu said.

“I’m excited for the experience, to meet the team and learn from even more world-class players. I can’t wait to get going in the Quarters.”

“It’s hugely exciting to have secured the services of a player of the calibre of Sisilia,” Head Coach Ross Chisholm added:

“She will add to what is already an exciting front-row and group of forwards here at Harlequins.

“Sisila is a world-class operator and has shown in her performances for both Gloucester-Hartpury and Wales just how good she is.”
