Gabriel Ibitoye confirms Gallagher Premiership return

Gabriel Ibitoye is set for a Gallagher Premiership comeback with Bristol Bears ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.

The 24-year-old flyer returns to the UK from Israel, having represented Tel Aviv Heat in the Rugby Europe Super Cup.

Ibitoye scored eight tries in 23 league appearances for Harlequins during the 2019/20 campaign, before a switch to Agen, and then Montpellier on loan, in France.

Director of Rugby Pat Lam said: “Gabriel is a hugely talented player with the pace and versatility to threaten opposition defences.

“Coming back to the Premiership is an exciting challenge for him. We see huge potential in a young player who was in the conversation for an England call-up a couple of years ago.

“The way that we attack as a team relies on pace and execution and Gabriel is one of the most potent finishers around. We look forward to welcoming him to the West Country.”
