Lawson Extends Gloucester Stay

Scrum-half Rory Lawson has become the latest Gloucester player to sign a new contract with the Guinness Premiership club.

The Scotland international, who has 17 caps to his name and is part of Andy Robinson's Six Nations squad, has made over 100 appearances for the Kingsholm outfit since joining at the start of the 2006-07 season.

The 28-year-old has inked a two-year extension and follows the likes of Akapusi Qera, Peter Buxton, Olly Morgan, Henry Trinder, Freddie Burns, Charlie Sharples and coach Bryan Redpath in committing his future to Gloucester.

Lawson has established himself as the first choice number nine at Kingsholm this season after facing competition from the likes of Peter Richards and Gareth Cooper, who now play for London Irish and Cardiff Blues respectively, in previous terms.
Delighted

And the former Edinburgh man is delighted to have extended his stay in the West Country.

"I'm very, very happy that we've got everything sorted. I've loved my time at Gloucester so far. It's a great club and I really feel as though we're going places at the moment," he said.

"From a personal point of view, I feel as though my game has developed during my time at the club and, of course, working with someone like Bryan (Redpath) is a huge plus for a scrum half.

"We've a big couple of months ahead of us and lots to play for. I'm really looking forward to it."
