Top PREM Rugby Signings for 2026/27 Season
The 2026/27 PREM Rugby season is nearly upon us, signaling an exciting phase of major transfers that could shape the forthcoming campaign. With all 10 top-flight teams strengthening their squads, several signings particularly stand out, promising to add intrigue and quality to the league.

At fullback, Harlequins' acquisition of George Furbank (15) is particularly notable. Moving from Northampton Saints, where he was captain, Furbank brings leadership and a wealth of talent to a team looking to rebound from a disappointing ninth-place finish last season. Despite existing options at fullback, Furbank's addition is expected to be a significant boost for the Quins.

Joe Marchant (14), typically seen in the midfield, finds a spot on our list due to his versatility and recent move to Sale Sharks. Known for his speed and ability to create scoring opportunities, Marchant is seen as a key player in revitalizing Sale's attacking strategies.

Alex Lozowski (13), another Sale Sharks addition, is set to inject creativity into the team’s playmaking. His experience and versatility are seen as valuable assets as Sale aims to improve on their previous performances.

The Chiefs have secured a promising talent in Dallas McLeod (12), who arrives from the Southern Hemisphere with experience from his time with the All Blacks and the Crusaders. His ability to play multiple positions in the backline will be crucial for the Chiefs.

Heading to the North East, Werner Kok (11) joins Newcastle Red Bulls. The South African winger is celebrated for his dynamic play and ability to challenge defenses both on the flank and through heavy traffic.

"I'm excited to bring my style of play to Newcastle and help the team reach new heights." - Werner Kok

Zack Henry (10) makes a return to the PREM, joining Newcastle from his stint in France. His experience in top-tier competitions is expected to bring a fresh perspective to Newcastle’s game plan.

Tomos Williams (9) joins Saracens after being named the 2025 PREM Player of the Year. His prowess as a scrum-half and his tactical acumen are expected to be crucial for Saracens' push to the playoffs.

Hoskins Sotutu (8) marks a significant signing for Newcastle, with his all-around skills and potential to break into the England squad adding to the anticipation of his debut season.

Jac Morgan (7), moving to Gloucester, stands out as possibly the season's top signing. His robust defense and leadership qualities are likely to have a significant impact on Gloucester’s fortunes.

Courtney Lawes (6) returns to the PREM for one last hurrah with Sale, bringing invaluable experience and a renewed drive to succeed at both the club and international levels.

"It feels great to be back in the PREM, and I'm eager to contribute to Sale's success and push for my place in the England squad." - Courtney Lawes

George Martin (5) and Jean Kleyn (4) are set to strengthen the packs for Saracens and Gloucester, respectively. Martin's return from injury and Kleyn's lineout expertise will be key to their teams' strategies.

Completing our forward pack, Joel Sclavi (3) adds needed experience to Leicester’s front row, promising to bolster their scrummaging and general play in the tight phases.

As the new season approaches, these signings not only promise to elevate their respective teams but also make the upcoming PREM Rugby season one to watch closely. With such talent entering the fray, fans can expect thrilling rugby and perhaps a few surprises along the way.
