Gloucester Rugby have announced that Nick Broady has been appointed as the chair of Gloucester Rugby Charitable Foundation.

Nick is a native of Gloucester, having been born in Matson and brought up in Tredworth, and has long held an association with the club.

A box holder at Kingsholm for over 30 years, his passion for Gloucester Rugby made him the perfect candidate for his new role as chair of the Gloucester Rugby Charitable Foundation.

Speaking on his appointment, Nick said: "I'm delighted to have been asked to become the chair of the Gloucester Rugby Charitable Foundation.
