7. Jamie Roberts (Harlequins to Bath)
Capped 94 times by Wales, Roberts featured in the 2009 and 2013 British & Irish Lions tours and will arrive in the West Country following three years with Harlequins.
The hugely experienced centre started his career with Cardiff RFC before joining Cardiff Blues in 2007. After making over 80 appearances for the Welsh outfit, Roberts spent two seasons with French Top 14 side Racing Metro.
8. Francois Venter (Cheetahs to Worcester Warriors)
Another import from the PRO14, Francois Venter joins his Toyota Cheetahs coach Rory Duncan by switching South Africa for Sixways ahead of the new season.
The 27-year-old centre was in the top 25 in the PRO14 OPTA stats rankings for carries (198), metres made (789), offloads (28) and clean breaks (21) last year.
Venter has made seven appearances for the Springboks and will add serious power and cutting edge to the Warriors back line for the 2018/19 season.
9. David Strettle (Clermont Auvergne to Saracens)
45 league starts and 49 tries – David Strettle is a familiar face to English rugby fans.
The winger made his league debut with Rotherham Titans in the 2003/04 season before spending four seasons with Harlequins and five years at Saracens.

In his first season in North London, Strettle lifted the league title as Saracens recorded a 22-18 win over Leicester Tigers in the final – their first ever Aviva Premiership Rugby success.
The England international, 34, has spent the last three years playing in France for Clermont Auvergne and will be a like-for-like replacement for the retiring Chris Wyles.
