#1. Alec Hepburn
Exeter Chiefs’ loosehead prop Hepburn, who has represented both Scotland and England internationally, is set to depart the club at the end of the season.
Having debuted for Scotland during the Six Nations, Hepburn initially earned six caps for England before switching allegiances.
A pivotal figure for Exeter Chiefs in recent years, Hepburn played a significant role in their successes, including winning the Champions Cup in 2020 and two Gallagher Premiership titles.
Scarlets’ head coach Dwayne Peel has been proactive in bolstering the team’s front row, especially with Steffan Thomas departing for the Ospreys and rumors swirling around Wyn Jones’ future.
With Hepburn’s arrival, Scarlets aim to solidify their front row options, offering competition alongside Welsh international Kemsley Mathias, Sam O’Connor, and Josh Morse for the starting loosehead position in Llanelli next season.
