Gloucester sign Tom Isaacs

Gloucester carried on their shopping spree today with the arrival of Ospreys centre Tom Isaacs ahead of next season.
This is the third signing in as many days after Bedford Blues centre Mark Atkinson and Scarlets fly-half Aled Thomas put pen to paper earlier this week.
Isaacs has been with the Ospreys since 2009 and, like Thomas, was part of the 2009 Wales Sevens side that lifted the World Cup.
Director of Rugby Nigel Davies said: “He started as a nine, but has been developed as an outside centre more recently. If anyone has seen him play for the Ospreys, they will realise how powerful and elusive a runner he is.
“He’s a very difficult guy to stop, really hits some hard lines, breaks tackles and is a big hitter defensively. I know speaking to a lot of the players down at the Ospreys that they rate him very highly.
“Having watched him play for a long time, I have a lot of faith that he’ll come and make a big impact and really put pressure on the incumbents.
“That’s very important when we look at players to bring in, that they come in and help raise the bar for everybody. I’m sure Tom will come and do that. He’ll bring something slightly different to what we’ve already got.”
