Danny Cipriani reveals his big plans after leaving Gloucester

Danny Cipriani has revealed that he’s currently training with England legend Jonny Wilkinson as he prepares for a return to rugby.

The 16-cap England fly-half, who departed Gloucester for personal reasons last month, was speaking about his future plans with the Mail Online.

“I have had some interesting offers from abroad and there are a few things bubbling here,” revealed Cipriani, who we linked with a move to Newcastle Falcons.

“I’m going to spend four or five months on the running track and I’m doing kicking with Jonny (Wilkinson). He’s a great man and I love being around him.

“For me, it’s about being part of an exciting project and challenging for a title. English rugby is not ruled out. It’s not necessarily a monetary thing and it never has been.

“For me to play in England, it’s about having a project to get involved in and getting on well with the coach.

“I’d love another shot at getting to the play-offs and trying to win the Premiership title. If I’m going to keep playing, I want to do it properly. It’s just about getting something exciting. I’ve definitely got two or three years left in me.”
