Overview
- Gloucester confirmed on Wednesday that Charlie Atkinson has signed a contract keeping him at Kingsholm until at least the summer of 2029.
- Atkinson said re-signing was an easy decision because he feels at home at the club, is enjoying his rugby and expects to play a major role in the team.
- Head coach George Skivington called the signing “a real coup” and said the club’s programme and vision convinced the player to stay.
- Atkinson moved from Leicester Tigers in December 2024, has made 57 appearances for Gloucester, swept the club’s 2025/26 end-of-season awards and has one senior England cap plus England A appearances.
- Locking down a young, proven fly‑half reduces the chance of rival clubs poaching him and strengthens both Gloucester’s long-term plans and England’s depth at a key decision-making position.
