Gloucester Sign Centre Phil Cokanasiga for 2026/27 Season

The 24-year-old returns from a regular URC stint with Ospreys to deepen Gloucester’s midfield options.

Overview

  • Gloucester confirmed Cokanasiga will join ahead of the 2026/27 Gallagher Premiership campaign.
  • The recruitment was completed by CEO Alex Brown with head coach George Skivington as incoming general manager Rob Burgress starts on April 1.
  • A London Irish Academy graduate, Cokanasiga moved to Leicester in 2022, had a Nottingham loan, and has logged 700+ URC minutes with four tries for Ospreys this season.
  • Skivington called him a talented addition who will add quality to an already strong midfield, and Cokanasiga said he is eager to return to the Premiership and settle quickly at Kingsholm.
  • The move extends Gloucester’s run of former London Irish signings and complements a midfield group that includes internationals Seb Atkinson, Will Joseph and Max Llewellyn.
