Grove and Bright join Championship new-boys
London Scottish have begun their preparations for life in the Championship with the signings of Ollie Grove and Mark Bright.
Scotland Under-20s back Grove, the brother of international centre Alex, will make the switch from Birmingham and Solihull having come through the ranks at Worcester.
And with the Exiles looking to develop young talent for Scotland, Grove, who starred in the Under-20s Six Nations last season, is an ideal addition.
Head coach Simon Amor said: "Ollie fits in with exactly what we are trying to achieve at Scottish.
"He is a young, talented player who will give the squad a greater attacking threat with his pace and strength, as well as his versatility.
"We have high hopes for him for this season and in the future, and we are also very pleased to be responsible for developing a player that has already had international recognition from the SRU."
Itch
Joining Grove will be the vastly experienced back-rower Bright, who has been named in the National One team of the year for a record five times.
He will arrive at Scottish from Redruth, where he made 118 appearances and scored 19 tries last season.
The New Zealander, who is currently playing for the Tasman Makos in the ITM Cup, said: "I've always had an itch to play in the Championship and I can't wait to get out there and have a crack.
"My aim is to be really consistent throughout the season and play well in all the games I get an opportunity to play.
"I'm really excited about this new opportunity, and my family and I are relishing a fresh challenge and living in a great city like London. My family and I had a really good time in Cornwall and I really appreciate all the support Redruth have provided me over the last five years."
