Young outside-half George Barton has committed his future to the Cherry & Whites by signing a contract extension with his home club.
A product of Gloucester’s Longlevens RFC, Barton joined the Gloucester Rugby academy in 2014 and has developed through the pathway and into the first team.
Barton scored the most points in a Premiership Rugby u18 Academy League Season in the 2017/18 season and has also represented England at u18 and u20 level.
Gloucester Rugby Chief Operating Officer Alex Brown is delighted that Barton will remain at Kingsholm.
“We pride ourselves on developing local talent and giving Gloucester born and bred players the chance to represent their city.
“George has been in the Gloucester Rugby set up since 2014 and we have already seen him mature into a fantastic rugby player and person.
“At 21-years-old he’s already an extremely important part of the squad here at Kingsholm, but he’s still got a massive amount of potential and that really excites us.
“We’re really glad George has signed on to stay here at Gloucester and we look forward to continuing to see him develop.”
