Ex-Gloucester and Bristol centre Jack Adams has died aged 34 following a short battle with cancer.

Adams made his Gloucester debut in 2005, replacing Mike Tindall, and went on to accumulate 35 appearances for the Kingsholm club.

He joined Bristol in 2009 where he played over 50 games and then embarked in a career in construction management.

Saddened by the news

“Everyone connected to Gloucester is deeply saddened to hear the news of Jack Adams passing over the weekend,” read a statement on the club’s website.

“The outpouring of love and support from the wider rugby community over the last few days goes to show just how adored Jack was as a person.”
