Sam Bedlow, 21, joins from , where the centre has made eight first team appearances since graduating through the Club's Academy system.
“We're delighted to beat off the interest of a number of other clubs to capture the signings of these gifted young players.
“Mat is a hugely exciting player with bags of natural talent. He'll bring some flair and energy to our attacking game and – under the tutelage of Pat [Lam]'s attacking philosophy – we expect Mat to make a significant impact in a Bristol jersey.
“Chris comes with excellent pedigree and he's another highly-rated young player – with international experience – to add to our ranks.
“Dan is a physical, openside flanker who has really impressed us every time he has played for Gloucester. He's got experience and an excellent attitude to keep improving – it's great to have him onboard and contributing to what we are we trying to achieve.
“Sam is a technically gifted centre who can distribute and read the game well. He's coming to Bristol hungry to prove a point and establish a first team spot, so we're creating healthy competition in every position on the field and a squad with real balance and energy.”
