Gloucester forward to stay at Kingsholm until end of next season
Gloucester lock Will James has signed a one-year contract extension that will keep him at Kingsholm until the end of the 2012-13 season.
The 34-year-old former Wales international has made over 100 first-team appearances during his six seasons with the Cherry and Whites.
He has been an important figure so far this season with Alex Brown injured and Jim Hamilton away on World Cup duty with Scotland and is happy to extend his stay with the club.
"I'm delighted. It's good for me that I've got this year and next year and can just concentrate on the rugby. I'm over the moon," James said in a Gloucester statement.
"Some guys are quite laid back about it when they're in a contract year but, personally, I don't like to worry about these things and risk have it affect my performance on the pitch. I'm glad it's out of the way and it's a weight off my mind."
