Already confirmed as moving on to new clubs are Dave Attwood (Bath Rugby), Alasdair Dickinson (Sale Sharks), Paul Doran-Jones (Northampton Saints), Jordi Pasqualin (Newcastle Falcons) and Nicky Robinson (London Wasps).
Added to that list today were French duo Olivier Azam and Pierre Capdevielle who have both reached the end of their contracts.
Head Coach Bryan Redpath confirmed today:
"The current squad has been involved in a memorable season for Gloucester Rugby but it's the nature of the beast in modern rugby that players, some of whom you would desperately love to keep, move on."
"This is never an easy time as every single player in the squad has played their part in the success that the club has enjoyed this season."
"I'd like to place on record my personal thanks for their efforts during their time at the club. They have all been magnificent servants."
"However, we have to move on and prepare for next season. We've already announced the signings of Dario Chistolini, Dan Murphy and Nick Runciman, are continuing to explore talk a number of other options and will make announcements at the appropriate time."
