Jersey Reds sign former Bristol winger Augustin Slowik

Jersey Reds have confirmed the signing of former Bristol wing Augustin 'Auguy' Slowik.

The 23-year-old spent three seasons at Bristol, scoring 19 tries from 28 games during this period and contributing to the title-winning campaign in the 2015/16 Greene King IPA Championship.

With limited opportunities following Bristol's arrival in the Premiership, Slowik left Ashton Gate last November and subsequently spent brief periods with Worcester Warriors and London Scottish.

Most recently he has spent a spell in Australia and helped Sydney-based Northern Suburbs reach the final of the 2017 Shute Shield for clubs in New South Wales.

Slowik is expected to be in the squad for this weekend's B&I Cup trip to south Wales, where the Reds will take on Dragons Premier Select, although having only arrived from Australia in mid-week, his duties are likely to be restricted to the role of travelling reserve/ 23rd man.
