Gloucester have confirmed that a half dozen players – including ex-Bath duo Matt Banahan and Matt Garvey – are now leaving following the end of a 2020/21 Gallagher Premiership campaign that petered out with the pair of match cancellations that ended their hopes of finishing in the top eight to clinch a Heineken Champions Cup qualification place for next season.

Those call-offs left Gloucester finishing in eleventh spot in George Skivington’s first full season in charge and the club has now farewell six players – Banahan, Tom Hudson, Garvey, Willi Heinz, Olli Atkinson and Jamie Gibson – ahead of the off-season. 

Chief operating officer Alex Brown said: “We are truly grateful for every player that pulls on the famous jersey for their contribution to our club. Each player that is moving on this season has contributed to the journey we are on as a group, both on and off the field, and we wish them the very best for the future.”

      The Gloucester statement listed the names of the departing players added: “Matt Banahan moved to Gloucester from local rivals Bath in 2018. With the ability to play across the backline, in recent seasons he has acted as a mentor to the younger members of the squad and has passed the baton to the likes of Louis Rees-Zammit and Ollie Thorley.

      “Tom Hudson joined Gloucester ahead of the 2016/17 season from Leicester… signing a new contract in May 2018. Most recently, he has spent time on loan at Ampthill during the 2019/20 season and his contract at Kingsholm has now come to an end.

      “Matt Garvey’s commitment to the Gloucester squad has been unrivalled. He initially joined on a short-term deal following the suspension of the 2019/20 season. After a string of impressive performances, he signed a new Gloucester deal until the conclusion of the 2020/21 season. Matt has been a true professional.

      “Willi Heinz has been a vital operator in recent years who initially joined ahead of the 2015/16 season and has since developed into an England international. Over his six years at Kingsholm, Heinz marked his 100th appearance against London Irish a few weeks ago and he now joins local rivals Worcester.

      “Although only brief, Ollie Atkins’ time at Gloucester will be remembered for the energy and enthusiasm he brought to every training session. The Australian has been a true professional in helping prepare the team, even when not involved in the matchday 23.

      “A Premiership veteran, Jamie Gibson has passed on some of his vast knowledge of competing in the top flight and after a year with Gloucester, his contract has come to an end. The ex-England forward made seven appearances for the Cherry and Whites.”

      TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY IS A GENUINE CRYPTO RECOVERY COMPANY


      It was a cold morning when I first realized the full extent of my loss. I had invested 150,000 euros into an online crypto platform, believing in their promises and the allure of quick financial success. But as the days passed, I discovered it was all a scam. My money was gone, and with it, my dreams of financial security.

      The feeling of helplessness and devastation was overwhelming. I tried everything to recover my funds contacting authorities, searching for solutions online, and connecting with others who had been through similar scams—but nothing seemed to work. I felt completely lost, as though there was no way back.One Sunday, feeling utterly defeated, I decided to visit Grace Church in Dublin, Ireland. I was searching for some peace and comfort. During the service, I shared my story with the congregation, explaining how I had been scammed and lost everything. I didn’t expect much—just a chance to speak to someone.

      Afterward, a fellow parishioner came up to me. He had been listening closely, and after hearing my situation, he shared that he had once been in a similar place.

      He had fallen victim to a scam too, and like me, thought his money was gone for good. But someone had recommended a service called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY to him. He decided to reach out to them, and with their help, he had managed to recover his lost funds.

      He suggested I contact them, believing they could help me too.

      Though I was skeptical, I was also desperate, so I wrote down their contact information. That evening, I called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY. From the moment we spoke, I felt a sense of professionalism and empathy that I hadn’t encountered before. They didn’t treat me like just another case. They listened to my story, took my concerns seriously, and reassured me that they would do everything they could to help.The recovery process was detailed and transparent. They kept me updated regularly, explaining each step they were taking. Weeks passed, and though I was anxious, I held onto hope. Then, out of nowhere, I received the incredible news: TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY had successfully recovered 95% of my 150,000 euros. It felt like a miracle. I couldn’t believe it. Thanks to the team at TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY, I was able to regain my financial footing and rebuild emotionally. I’m now more cautious than ever, but I’m also deeply grateful.

      Without the kind recommendation from that parishioner at Grace Church, I would never have found the help I so desperately needed.

      Today, I’m on the path to full recovery, and I can confidently say that TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY gave me a second chance.

      Their dedication and expertise truly made all the difference in my life.
