Fraser Balmain moves from Gloucester to Saracens

Gloucester Rugby can confirm that prop, Fraser Balmain, has departed the Club to join fellow Gallagher Premiership side, Saracens.

Balmain joined the Cherry & Whites from Leicester Tigers ahead of the 2017/18 season, and became an integral member of the Gloucester Rugby squad, amassing over a century of appearances across his seven years at the club.

A significant knee injury against Bordeaux last year, as well as a hamstring injury on his return, kept Balmain sidelined before returning to action this season.

Director of Rugby, George Skivington, commented:

“Fraser has played a big role for us in his time here and we are grateful to his contribution in Cherry & White.

“We do, however, recognise it’s a good opportunity and a new challenge for him at this stage in his career, and he departs with our best wishes and thanks for his time at Kingsholm.”
