Ulster have signed Ireland-qualified fly-half Billy Burns from Premiership side Gloucester.
The 24-year-old joins on a two-year deal having made his senior debut in 2012.
Burns represented England at Under-18 and Under-20 level and scored 304 points in 101 appearances for the Cherry and Whites.
Here’s how social media responded:
Congrats bro! Proved your worth over the last few years and deserve to be backed by such a big club #SUFTUM #proud https://t.co/vfkisUkgzh

Gloucester confirm the departure of Billy Burns to Ulster. The DUP’s influence in Downing Street really showing this offseason.
