Gloucester reluctantly make decision to let Jordy Reid leave
By Ian Cameron
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."

I like Andy’s critical approach to all hot issues especially when it comes to the rugby big “bosses”. However, sorry Andy, I don’t support your “we shouldn’t be questioning the integrity of Karl Dickson or any other official”. May I ask why? They do have a lot of responsibility, but they are people like us with all their sins and weaknesses. We have to respect their decision during the games, but why they became untouchable afterwards and people cannot even criticize them and the ones, who does express their concerns, got punished for publicly analyzing their mistakes and asking questions. If they believe they did right, there shouldn’t be a problem for any of the refs to answer these “questions” publicly. I don’t really remember such cases. However, I do remember how Craig Joubert shown his running skills in 2015 or Pascal Gauzere shined in Cardiff in 2021. I do believe that Rassie, as anybody else, had a full right to share his vision of Nic Berry’s performance the same year. I do not support the hate in any form especially in public one, but creating the cast of untouchable refs and rugby bosses is not for me. As for Karl, he had all means to question his appointment for the game and since I don’t now whether he did it, blaming just RFU wouldn’t be quite correct at this moment. I love the game of rugby and almost every time I watch it I don’t support any team, I just wanna see the good game and fair referring. Sorry, Karl. last Saturday you got my Craig Joubert”s award of the round. It is up to Karl to prove that I am wrong, not to Andy or RFU’s corporate bla-bla-bla. Something like that…
