London Welsh have made a splash in the transfer market ahead of their National League One campaign by announcing no fewer than seven new signings.

Leading the way is scrum-half Nick Runciman who arrives from Premiership side Worcester.

Runciman, who spent three seasons at Sixways, has also represented England at U16, U18 and U21 level.

Fellow scrum-half Alex Walker joins on loan from Newport Gwent Dragons, and centre Tom Rock moves from Leeds Carnegie.

The full-back position receives a boost with Pertemps Bees Peter Murchie and London Irish's Ed Lewis-Pratt switching to Old Deer Park.

In the forwards, lock Darrell Ball makes the short journey from London Scottish, while flanker Tom Audley moves from Saracens.
