Gloucester reluctantly make decision to let Jordy Reid leave

Gloucester has announced that flanker Jordy Reid will depart the club at the end of the 2022-23 season.

Reid joined the Cherry & Whites from Ealing Trailfinders before the 2020-21 campaign, and he made an early impact toward the end of the 2019-20 season.

Reid has gone on to make over 50 appearances for the side and is leaving the club after making a significant contribution to the Cherry & White.

Gloucester Head Coach Skivington wished Reid the best of luck for his next challenge, acknowledging the important role he has played in the team during his time at the club.

“We’re really grateful for what Jordy has brought to the squad in his time here, and we wish him the very best for the future. He’s an honest and hardworking bloke that has played a really important role in setting the standard for the younger guys."

The decision to let Reid go was not an easy one, with Skivington acknowledging the difficulty of having to say goodbye to a quality player and individual.

“The nature of professional sport is that sometimes you have to make really difficult decisions, and you have to say goodbye to quality players and individuals, such is the case with Jordy."

Looking to the future, Skivington expressed confidence in the team's depth in the back-row, which includes a mix of international players and talented academy graduates, all competing for starting spots.

“We’re fortunate to be well-stocked in the back-row for next season, with a mixture of international players and really exciting academy graduates all vying for those starting spots."
