Gloucester quintet sign new deals

Darren Dawidiuk, Shaun Knight, Charlie Sharples, Elliott Stooke and James Simpson-Daniel all sign new contracts with Gloucester Rugby.

Darren Dawidiuk, Shaun Knight, Charlie Sharples, Elliott Stooke and James Simpson-Daniel have all signed new contracts with Gloucester Rugby.

While winger Simpson-Daniel has been at the club for the past 14 seasons, hooker Dawidiuk is currently in his fifth year.

Winger Sharples and lock Stooke have also proved to be important players for Gloucester this campaign.

"I'm delighted that all four of them have committed their futures to Gloucester Rugby," director of rugby Nigel Davies told the club's official website. "Charlie, Darren, James and Shaun have been a big part of the club's success in recent years and Elliott has a huge future in front of him.

"It's been a busy couple of months for us on top of the re-signings announced before Christmas and the arrivals next season of John Afoa and Richard Hibbard. The players can see where the club is heading, and are excited to be a part of that going forward. Their commitment speaks volumes.

"And, once again, it's a testimony to the hard work and commitment of everyone at the club. We're able to invest significantly in our team thanks to the backing of our board, the continued financial success of Gloucester Rugby and the significant investment made by our partners, sponsors and supporters."

Gloucester are currently ninth in the Aviva Premiership table with 21 points from 11 matches.
