“Jamal is an established force at Premiership level, and he’s offered us great stability on both sides of the scrum this season," said Skivington in a statement released by the club.

“He a powerful presence on the pitch, strong in the set-piece, but also good with the ball in hand too. I know he’s really enjoying his time at Kingsholm, and we’re looking forward to him kicking on with us and being a solid part of the future here.”
