Scotland ace Hastings signs for Glos

GLOUCESTER have signed Scotland fly-half Adam Hastings to fill the hole left by Danny Cipriani’s departure.

Cipriani, capped 16 times by England, left the club this week after two-and-ahalf years at Kingsholm, and will be replaced for the 2021-22 season by the 24year-old Glasgow Warriors back.

“After much deliberation I have decided to leave Gloucester,” said Cipriani, 33. “I am sad to leave a great club, but excited for the challenges ahead.”

Gloucester announced the signing of Hastings, son of Scotland great Gavin, within an hour of confirming Cipriani’s exit on Tuesday.

“Adam has matured as a player impeccably over the last couple of years,” said head coach Geroge Skivington.

“He has developed into a top international fly-half. The most exciting part for us is that he’s still got plenty of room for development as well.”

“With Adam, Lloyd Evans and George Barton coming through as well, it’s an area in our squad that we believe has a huge amount of promise in the immediate, but also longterm future.”
