Gloucester back rower Will Trenholm has committed his future to the Cherry & Whites, signing a contract extension at Kingsholm until 2029.
Trenholm joined Gloucester from his boyhood club, Harlequins, in the summer of 2025 and played an important role in the club’s renaissance.
The 25-year-old said: “I owe Gloucester Rugby a lot. They took a chance on me and I try to pay it back every time I step on the field.”
“I’ve grown so much as a player and a person since coming here. Moving away from everything I’ve ever known, settling in the West Country, making new friends and being pushed every day by coaches who believe in me and what this group can achieve has been huge for my development.”
“Playing at Kingsholm is pretty special. I enjoy every moment I get on the pitch in front of our fans, and I’d like to think that’s reflected in the way I play.”
Head coach, George Skivington, added: “Will has been a real success story for us over the past year and a half.
“He’s a great example of a player who has arrived on the brink and, through hard work and dedication, he’s made sure that whenever he’s given an opportunity, he takes it.
“He brings qualities that Gloucester supporters really value, and he continues to improve thanks to the quality of the coaches and players around him.
“He’s a good guy with a lot of energy about him, and he’s a big part of the environment we’re building here. We’ve got great competition in the back row, and that’s pushing all those players to continue to step up and fight for starting spots, which is really exciting for us.”
England International Arthur Clark is expected to be the next member of the pack to ignore overtures from elsewhere and re-sign with Gloucester.
