Ollie Dawe Joins Bristol Rugby Academy

The 19 year-old has signed a one-year contract to join the Club from the National One outfit.

Dawe - who has started twenty-three games for Plymouth Albion this season – has represented England at U17s and U18s level.

"We've watched Ollie on a number of occasions in National One and he has been a consistent performer for Plymouth throughout the season," Academy Forwards Coach Mark Irish told bristolrugby.co.uk.

"He has a strong set piece and plenty of potential to continue to develop. We look forward to welcoming Ollie to Bristol."

Dawe said: “It’s a massive opportunity for me going to a club like Bristol. I’m grateful to Plymouth Albion because they have done absolutely everything for me this year in terms of progressing my rugby.

“I will go to Bristol and try and put in a few good performances and see what happens. I’m excited about what is to come and look forward to integrating into the squad."
