Fraser Balmain to become a Cherry and White

Gloucester Rugby has recruited talented prop Fraser Balmain from Leicester Tigers ahead of next season.

"We are delighted that Fraser has agreed to join Gloucester after a long time with Leicester," said Director of Rugby David Humphreys.

"For a player who is still relatively young for a front row forward, he has gained a lot of Premiership and European experience at Leicester and we are excited to see what he has to offer in a Gloucester shirt..."

Balmain arrived in the East Midlands after starting his career in the Newcastle Falcons Academy and has gone on to make 86 competitive appearances for the Tigers to date, winning an Aviva Premiership title in this time.
