Gloucester prop Knight extends contract

Prop Ciaran Knight has extended his contract with Gloucester.

The 27-year-old England A international, who made his Cherry and Whites debut in 2017, has been rewarded for his consistency on either side of the scrum with an extension to his deal.

Knight, who is Gloucester-born and has only played for his home club, made his 100th appearance last season.

Head coach George Skivington told the club website:, external "Knighter is a local lad from a strong rugby family, and he understands exactly what it means to represent Gloucester Rugby.

"Once he established himself in the matchday 23 over the past couple of seasons, he's really come into his own.

"Whether at loose-head or tight-head, he's always prepared to do whatever is needed for the team, and that speaks volumes about his character."
