Tom Denton will join Gloucester for next season’s Aviva Premiership following four seasons at Leinster.
Denton made his professional debut for Leeds in the 2008 season as a 20-year old, representing the Yorkshire side in the Premiership and the Championship before joining Leinster.
“His arrival only makes us stronger as a unit,” said Gloucester director of rugby David Humphreys.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming Tom into our environment. During his time in the Aviva Premiership with Leeds, he proved to be a quality operator, and he has matured and improved whilst with Leinster.
“I know first hand from my time with Ulster what a quality opponent he is and he will be a welcome addition to our second row ranks.”
