The move was confirmed this morning, and the winger wrote a lengthy post soon after to his 10,000 followers.

“Thank you to everyone who has been a part of making a special 8 seasons possible @officialgloucesterrugbyfor me…

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of making a special 8 seasons possible @officialgloucesterrugby for me… Coaches, teammates, friends, family, FANS, kit men, office staff, grounds men, physios, S&C, sponsors, management, owners… EVERYONE! I feel very proud and privileged to have worn the shirt. It’s a shame and has been a really tough decision but ultimately had to do what I thought was best for my rugby and me! 🔴⚪️#glawsfamily ♥️ So many incredible games and memories, but this game has to be my favourite. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jqsH92UfhY0
