Leinster have confirmed that Tom Denton will join the Gloucester this summer.
The lock spent the last four seasons in Dublin having arrived from Leeds Carnegie back in 2012.
So far this season, Denton has made 10 appearances for Leinster, including appearing as a replacement in three Champions Cup pool stage games.
He said: “I’m very excited about the prospect of returning to England and having another crack at the Premiership with a club like Gloucester, one with a great history but a bright future as well.
“I feel that my game has developed a lot while with Leinster and I know that I’ll need to perform well as Gloucester already have a number of quality second rows.
“However, we’ve got a big semi-final against Ulster to prepare for next Friday in the RDS and my focus is completely on that as I’d love to bring my time at Leinster to a close having helped to secure the Guinness PRO12 title.”
