“I am so proud of what we have built together, and I have enjoyed working with every one.”

As speculated, Gloucester announced the signing of his replacement within an hour of confirming his departure.
Scotland international Adam Hastings will join the club next season.
Hastings has won 22 caps, and Gloucester head coach George Skivington said: “We are really pleased to welcome Adam to Gloucester for next season.
“He has matured as a player impeccably over the last couple of years and developed into a top international fly-half. The most exciting part for us is that he has still got plenty of room for development as well.
“He has now built up a considerable amount of domestic and international experience, which will prove invaluable to the squad.”
✍️ Gloucester Rugby are delighted to announce the arrival of Scottish international fly-half Adam Hastings for the 2021-22 season. 🤩
Looking forward to seeing you in Cherry & White, @adamhastings96! 🍒
