Bees Head of Rugby Pete Glackin said, “It is part of the on-going process and transition that we have to say goodbye – for various reason – to a number of squad members at the end of each season. I would like to thank each and every player for their contribution and wish them well in next stage of their rugby journey. As an ex-Bee, each and every former player will always be welcome in the clubhouse at Portway.”

“The squad for next season is really taking shape nicely and we will be making further announcements over the next few days.”
