Gloucester sign former Rebels scrumhalf

TRANSFER NEWS: Gloucester Rugby announced that Ben Meehan will link up with the Cherry and Whites ahead of the 2021-22 season.

Leaving London Irish in April, Meehan is now ready to get back to playing rugby after some time away from the game.

The Australian has a wealth of experience having spent time playing for the Melbourne Rebels and also represented Australia at U20 level.

George Skivington is looking forward to Meehan’s arrival at Kingsholm.

“Ben is an experienced and exciting scrumhalf who will bring a lot of energy to the squad.

"Having worked with him during my time at Irish, I know his quality and I'm looking forward to seeing him in a Gloucester Rugby shirt.

"With Willi Heinz moving on at the end of last season, we felt that we needed to bring in an experienced operator at scrumhalf and with fierce competition for the starting 9 shirt, we’re really looking forward to seeing the lads push each other in training and get the best out of each other."
