England winger Jonny May has extended his deal at Gloucester Rugby, before even re-joining the club.
May officially joins the Cherry and Whites on Wednesday, July 1, but before doing so, has extended his contract.
Despite being due to join next week, the winger has already been around the club and in ‘the Gloucester Rugby environment’.
May said: “I’ve already really enjoyed being back in the Gloucester Rugby environment, and it’s great to be able to commit my future here. There’s nothing quite like playing at Kingsholm, and I can’t wait to run back out there, and hopefully enjoy it with supporters again soon.”
The 30-year-old’s new deal has been described as ‘long-term’ by the club. The initial contract had been for just a single year but the club have now extended this.
May is a product of the Gloucester academy, and has scored 62 tries in Cherry and White, having made 138 appearances between 2009 & 2017.
Lance Bradley, chief executive of Gloucester Rugby, said: ““There’s absolutely no doubt that Jonny is a world-class athlete, and that experience he has in elite-level environments will prove invaluable to us.
“Jonny will be a hugely important figure in our squad, both on and off the pitch, as we continue to develop the young wingers we have coming through.”
