Adjacency Recruitment has teamed up again with Gloucester Rugby to give advice and guidance to the players in the Gloucester Academy programme on preparing for life outside of rugby.

Gloucester Rugby is committed to seeing players succeed in all aspects of life, both on the rugby field and away from it.

Adjacency’s Miles Greenslade said: “Our involvement will be to partner the players to discover what routes could be available to them post professional sport.

"This will include helping them to translate the value of their playing and non-playing skillsets into a CV, sourcing work experience opportunities with relevant companies and holistic career counselling.

"This will prove advantageous in their careers and beneficial to their role as ambassadors for Gloucester Rugby, whilst strengthening the Club’s bond with the region’s business community.”

Gloucester Rugby Director of Academy and Development, Carl Hogg, is delighted to be renewing the partnership with Adjacency.

“At Gloucester Rugby we truly believe that better people make better rugby players and we are therefore thrilled to have the opportunity to further develop our partnership with Adjacency Recruitment, giving our young players the chance to enhance their life skills through work experience opportunities.”

“We look forward to continue working with Adjacency through this important programme and building our relationship further in other areas.”
