'I've no doubt trophies are on the way soon' - Madigan says goodbye to Bristol

Former Bristol Bears flyhalf Ian Madigan has thanked the club ahead of his move to Ulster. The Irishman spent three years at Bristol since arriving from Bordeaux in 2017, and saw a monumental change in that space of time.

Not only did he help guide the club back to the Premiership during his first season, but experienced the complete rebrand of the team from Bristol Rugby into the Bristol Bears. 

The 31-year-old mentioned this change in a message he shared with his followers on social media. 

“It has been incredible to see the club grow from the Championship to retaining Premiership status and pushing up the league table this season," Madigan wrote on Instagram.

"I’ve no doubt trophies are on the way soon. That will be what the amazing supporters of the Bears deserve after many years of turmoil it is finally coming good, thank you for sticking with the club."
