Gloucester have confirmed that Jonny May will leave the club at the end of the current season.

A product of the Gloucester Rugby Academy, the 34-year-old May made his senior debut for the Cherry & Whites in a pre-season friendly against Bath in 2009.

And he was soon making an impression because three years later he won two awards – the club's Young Player of the Season award and Premiership Rugby’s Try of the Season.

May, who was capped 77 times by England, made his senior international debut in 2013 before moving to Leicester Tigers in 2017.

He returned to Gloucester three years later, picking up where he left off to accumulate 191 appearances to date, scoring 73 tries across his two spells.

Alongside his club career May established himself as one of the most lethal finishers in international rugby, racking up 36 tries for England.

Supporters will get the chance to say goodbye to May in his last Kingsholm game against Newcastle Falcons on Saturday and it's sure to be an emotional occasion.

“There’s no doubt that Jonny leaves as a true legend of Gloucester Rugby," said director of rugby George Skivington.

“He’ll be remembered here for his countless tries, his finishing ability and raw speed, which was second to none.

“But what people from the outside don’t see is the hard work and attention to detail that Jonny puts in behind the scenes to make himself one of the best try scorers in the world.

“We’ve got some exciting young wingers coming through who have learnt a lot from Jonny and we're excited to see how they develop in the future."
