#3. Kyle Sinckler
The 30-year-old is set to depart the club after four years as the current Gallagher Premiership Rugby season wraps up.
This move also signifies the conclusion of his aspirations to increase his 68 England caps, as per RFU regulations barring overseas-based players from national team selection.
Having last represented England at the Rugby World Cup, his absence from the Six Nations squad under head coach Steve Borthwick underscored this decision.
Since his transfer from Harlequins in 2020, he has been a stalwart in Bristol’s ranks, accumulating over 50 appearances and contributing significantly to the club’s historic European triumph.
#4. Callum Sheedy
heedy will depart the club at the end of the season to join Welsh URC side Cardiff Rugby, after ten years and more than 160 appearances for the club.
Fly-half Sheedy joined the Academy in 2014 before graduating to the first team squad and going on to make his international debut for Wales in 2020, winning 16 caps so far.
The 28-year-old has scored over 1000 points for Bristol during his ten seasons and close to 200 appearances in the West Country, making him the club’s sixth highest points scorer of all time.
Director of Rugby, Pat Lam, said: “Callum leaves as one of Bristol’s modern greats – the club’s leading Premiership points scorer and a vital part of the club’s success and growth over the past decade.
“His move back home to Cardiff, where he was born and grew up, ensures he remains eligible for the national side as he bids to win more caps for Wales, following the conclusion of his Bristol contract.
“It has truly been a blessing for me to work with Callum these last seven years – to see him work his way from fourth choice fly half to first choice for the Bears and then being rewarded for his performances by being capped for Wales is definitely a highlight.
“While he has been a special player for us, he’s been an even better team man that we all love and will miss. Callum and his partner Charlotte depart with our blessing and best wishes for the future, which I know will be hugely successful for both of them on and off the field.”
