Charlie Atkinson ‘excited to make his mark’ at Gloucester after leaving Tigers

Gloucester have completed the signing of fly-half Charlie Atkinson from Leicester.

The 22-year-old, who began his career at Wasps, scored 59 points in 23 matches for Leicester and was invited to the England senior squad training camp in June last year.

Atkinson said: “It’s a great opportunity for me to join a good group of players and staff and I’m excited to make my mark.

“I’ve enjoyed my time in Leicester over the last year, but Kingsholm is a place I’ve always relished playing at because the fans make an incredible atmosphere, so it’ll be nice having them on my side now.

“I can’t wait to get out there in a Cherry and White jersey.”
