"I’m really looking forward to joining RGC for this upcoming season. To be a part of a team who aim to progress as players but also a club, which has always been a positive insight for me. I am excited to be back in Wales and see what we can achieve this year as a group. New faces , new challenges.

Not only creating the pathway, but also aiming to get plenty of game time in this season."
RGC General Manager Alun Pritchard welcomes the new addition and what Gethin will bring
"We are delighted to sign someone of Gethin’s ability and would like to thank Bristol for working with us on his transfer. He is exactly the type of player we look for with a high ceiling in terms of his potential, the will to develop and the want to be playing rugby on a regular basis.
When we spoke to him, it was clear that rugby was his main focus, he just wanted to come somewhere that would aide his development and hopefully get back into professional rugby.
I’m sure he will enjoy our expansive style of play and that the fans will enjoy watching him play this season.
