George Skivington was announced as Gloucester Rugby’s Head Coach in July 2020.

Skivington was previously forwards coach at London Irish, and has also coached with the Samoan national team. His playing career included captaining England Saxons and London Irish, as well as playing for Wasps and Leicester Tigers.

Upon his appointment he said, “I’m absolutely delighted to be joining Gloucester Rugby. I’ve been very impressed with everyone I’ve met at the Club so far, and the vision they have for the Club. What I particularly liked was how far-reaching the vision is, building from the Academy, through the first team, and across the whole Club. I can’t wait to play my part in it.

“When I was playing, Gloucester Rugby was one of a couple of clubs that you never fancied visiting. We want to bring that feeling back to Kingsholm.”
