A former student at Cheltenham College, Ollie Thorley is one of the Academy's brightest young products.

A regular for the Gloucester Rugby U18 side, Thorley became the club's youngest first team try scorer, when he crossed against Ospreys in March 2015 in the LV Cup and he marked his debut in the Premiership with the game's only try against the Exeter Chiefs in April 2016.

With pace and an ability to run through defenders, Thorley won his first England cap against Italy in the 2020 Six Nations. 

With 12 appearances in the 2020/21 season, there is stiff competition for places in the back three at Gloucester Rugby which is driving each individual's standards and performances to a new level.
