England lock Zoe Aldcroft and scrum-half Natasha 'Mo' Hunt have signed new deals to stay with Premiership Women's Rugby side Gloucester-Hartpury.
Aldcroft, 27, has been capped 48 times by England and joined the club in 2018.
She is yet to start this season in the Premiership due to injury but has this week returned to the England squad.
"I've been with Gloucester a few years now and it's the only club I really feel at home," she told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
"We've come from finishing fifth, sixth and we've built a real strong, solid team of girls who create an amazing culture and that's been really important to me - starting there and building up to where we are now for that success."
Aldcroft and Hunt are Gloucester-Hartpury co-captains and lifted the league title for the first time last summer at Kingsholm.
Hunt joined her hometown side in 2019 and has started nine league games this season. The defending champions are currently top of the table and unbeaten in 12 matches.
The 34-year-old has won 67 caps for England and was part of the squad that won the World Cup in 2014.
"It's an unbelievable place - a brilliant club," Hunt said.
"The girls here are unbelievable, the staff, the support and everything we've got here and I'm really buzzing to be staying."
