Max Green has joined Bristol Bears on loan until the end of the season with immediate effect.
With Bristol scrum-halves Harry Randall (Six Nations), Andy Uren and Tom Whiteley (both injured) unavailable, the 26-year-old makes the temporary switch to Ashton Gate with a view of more game time.
Head Coach Neal Hatley said: “With no A League fixtures and the cancellation of the Premiership Rugby Cup match just after Christmas, Max has been unfortunate not to have had more minutes this season.
“His attitude and application week-to-week has been exemplary, and we hope he makes the most of his experience with Bristol before returning to us.”
