Gareth Denman joins Coventry Rugby

Gloucester prop Gareth Denman has become Coventry Rugby’s latest new recruit.

The 28-year-old tight head makes the move from Kingsholm to the Butts Park Arena for the 2019/20 campaign.

Rotherham-born Denman has made 22 appearances since joining the Cherry-and-Whites in 2017 from Northampton.

During his four-year stint at Franklin’s Gardens, the powerful front-rower was involved in Saints’ Aviva Premiership and European Challenge Cup double-winning season in 2013/14 then appeared for England against the Barbarians 12 months later.

His early career was spent in Yorkshire - initially with Carnegie, where he emerged from the academy to make his Premiership debut in 2010/11 - then at Rotherham.

In total Denman has almost 150 senior appearances to his name.
