🏉 Big news from Gloucester Rugby today! Jack Singleton, the talented England hooker, is stepping away from the game due to a heart issue. The 29-year-old, who’s dazzled fans with 75 appearances for the Cherry and Whites and boasts four international caps, is prioritising his health after a “cardiac event” last month.
Despite the setback, the Gloucester squad is rallying around him. The club is working closely with cardiac specialists to support Jack through his recovery. Meanwhile, they’ll be facing quite the challenge with several key players currently out due to injuries, including Jack Clement, who’s on the mend after ankle surgery, and Lewis Ludlow who’s recovering from thumb surgery.
Vice-captain Arthur Clark and full-back Ben Redshaw are also on the recovery road, alongside new signing Rob Russell. But the squad remains optimistic and focused on growing stronger as the season progresses.
Jack Singleton shared, “We’re certainly being tested earlier than expected this season, but the team spirit is high, and we’re tackling the challenges together. As our players recover and return, we aim to come back stronger.”
Best wishes to Jack for a full recovery, and fingers crossed we see him back on the pitch in the future! Meanwhile, here’s to the Cherry and Whites weathering the storm and shining through! 🍒🏉
