Gloucester have signed Tom Denton from Leinster and the lock is determined to prove himself in the Aviva Premiership next season.
Denton, 28, joined Leinster in 2012 and made 10 appearances this season, including three Champions Cup matches, having previously played in the Premiership for Leeds Carnegie.
He said: "I'm very excited about the prospect of returning to England and having another crack at the Premiership with a club like Gloucester, one with a great history but a bright future as well.
"I feel that my game has developed a lot while with Leinster and I know that I'll need to perform well as Gloucester already have a number of quality second rows."
Gloucester director of rugby David Humphreys said: "We're looking forward to welcoming Tom into our environment, and his arrival only makes us stronger as a unit.
"During his time in the Aviva Premiership with Leeds, he proved to be a quality operator, and he has matured and improved whilst with Leinster.
"I know first-hand from my time with Ulster what a quality opponent he is and he will be a welcome addition to our second row ranks."
