Gloucester Rugby can confirm that 19 players will depart the Club following the conclusion of the 2024/25 season.

In addition to the senior players who have already been confirmed to be leaving Kingsholm, Club centurions, Chris Harris, Ruan Ackermann and Freddie Clarke, all depart the Club after over half a decade in Cherry & White.

Also heading for pastures new this summer are Fijian international, Albert Tuisue and Argentine, Mayco Vivas.

Morgan Nelson, Louis Hillman-Cooper, Alfie Petch and Zach Mercer complete the senior departures.

In the Senior Academy, Morgan Adderly-Jones, Ioan Jones, Gareth Blackmore and Rory Taylor depart, alongside dual-registered (with Hartpury) players Aristot Benz-Salomon and Matty Ward.

Director of Rugby, George Skivington, commented:

“With several exciting new arrivals coming in for next season, inevitably, there are several players moving on from the Club this summer.

“I’d like to thank every one of the players departing for their time here at Kingsholm and wish them all the best for the future.

“We have a tight group here, so it’s always an emotional time to see people move on, but we do so knowing it’s in the best interest of the Club and themselves.

“I know supporters will be particularly sad to see some of the more experienced heads, such as Chris, Ruan and Freddie go, and I hope they join us at Kingsholm against Northampton to give them a big send off.”
