Archie McArthur to Glos academy.
Great news for him.
Hopefully some more of these academy guys will get picked up.
Really tough for them, they have no credit in the bank anymore, no history with any academy coaches, or time invested in them, every club most likely already has a similar player of their own they’ve already been working on since they were about 15 in all the key positions,
Plus they no longer count for home grown player credits anymore for anyone.
Bacon, Tunney and Hardwick already signed at Ampthill.
Fyn Brown looks like he’s getting game time at Moseley although they haven’t announced him officially.
You would think him, as well as the U20 lads like Bell, Maasi-White, Fisilau, Cripps and Dawkins would get a shot somewhere although backrow and back three are always fiercely contested at academy level.
Feyi-Waboso would be wanted back in Wales but his move to us was due to his medical degree originally so that may take priority,
I would hope Hartley would be seen as a real steal for somewhere out there
