Bristol confirm Jordan Crane signing

As revealed in Blindside by Neil Fissler on April 24, Bristol have brought in Leicester Tigers No.8 Jordan Crane on a three-year-deal from next season.
The 29-year-old has spent the last ten years at Welford Road claiming four Premiership winners’ medals.
A product of Colston’s School, Crane captained England at U18s, U19s, U21s and Saxons level.
He said: “The opportunity to join Bristol Rugby and be part of the exciting vision going forward was one I couldn’t turn down.
“The stadium is fantastic and the ambition and resources are there for the Club to be really successful.
“I’ve had an incredible ten years at Leicester and those experiences have shaped my career. I’d like to thank everybody at Tigers for their support.”
Director of Rugby Andy Robinson added: “Jordan is an excellent acquisition for Bristol Rugby and a natural leader. At 29 years old, he’s at the peak of his career and we’re looking forward to welcoming him to Ashton Gate.
“Jordan knows what is required to be successful at the highest level. He’s a physical ball carrier with a good understanding of the game. His arrival will compliment our young, talented back row.”
