Lock Jamie Hodgson has joined English Premiership side Bristol Bears on a short-term loan.

Hodgson, 26, linked up with Bristol earlier today (Monday 2 December) with the move designed to give the second-row continued playing opportunities, as Edinburgh looks to assess the development of its younger locks, alongside the boost of returning Scotland duo Sam Skinner and Glen Young.

Head Coach Sean Everitt said: “We believe this is a great opportunity for Jamie to get further game time and it also gives us the chance to further assess the development of young locks, like Rob Carmichael, who continues to train well and put his hand up for selection.

“With Sam back and fully fit, and Glen set to return soon, our second-row options continue to strengthen as we enter an important month of rugby.

“We wish Jamie the very best for this spell at Bristol.”
