Danny Cipriani leaves Gloucester with immediate effect

The fly-half has announced that he has left Premiership side today following multiple reports suggesting he could leave the club.

"After much deliberation. I have decided to leave Gloucester," wrote Cipriani on Instagram.

"I have mixed emotions about it. I am sad to leave a great club, but I’m excited for the challenges I have ahead.

"I am so proud of what we have built together, and I have enjoyed working with everyone."

Commenting on Cipriani’s departure, George Skivington added: “Danny has been playing at the top of his game for over a decade now, his reputation in the game is undisputed. It has been a pleasure to have been a part of Danny’s career at Gloucester and I wish him well for his next challenge.”

Scotland fly-half is to leave Glasgow Warriors at the end of the season, with Premiership strugglers Gloucester thought to be his destination. Hastings is understood to have turned down the contract offered by Glasgow. An announcement from the club is expected to be issued on Tuesday.

Gloucester are reportedly weighing up a move for Wales and Cardiff Blues playmaker Jarrod Evans, according to The Rugby Paper. The Cherry & Whites are looking for an outside-half to challenge first-choice No.10 Danny Cipriani while they also have Welsh-qualified Lloyd Evans on their books.

The Cherry & Whites are set to battle Exeter Chiefs in a bid to lure loosehead Beno Obano away from West Country rivals Bath. The loosehead, who is the cousin of Maro Itoje,  has been called up for several training camps by Jones, but prop is a position where England have plenty of strength in depth, headed by Mako Vunipola and Obano is yet to win his first cap.

It's been reported that the talented centre has already agreed a move to Kingsholm with a two-year contract wrapped up. A very exciting player.

O’Mahony will reportedly be on the move next summer with a number of clubs chasing his signature. The 31-year-old, who joined Munster over a decade ago, will be out of contract and already has several French clubs along with Gloucester interested, according to The Rugby Paper.
