Freddie joined the Gloucester Rugby Academy from local rivals Bath and first caught the eye in Andy Hazell's Testimonial game in preseason in summer 2009.

Came to prominence in the autumn of that season and quickly displayed an aptitude for scoring key tries as well as establishing himself as a solid goal kicker.

Went to Argentina in June 2010 as part of the England U20s Junior World Cup squad.

Returned to make 16 starts in the Gloucester first XV in 2010-11, alternating between full back and fly half.

Freddie was a fixture at fly half in 2011-12, scoring almost 300 points. He signed a new contract in Spring 2012, earned England Saxons selection as well as being named Aviva Premiership Player of the Month for February.

2012-13 was one to remember. Another Player of the Month award was earned and he won his first full England cap as a replacement against New Zealand.

Freddie maintained his good club form, and his 240 Aviva Premiership points with the boot saw him awarded the Gilbert Golden Boot award.
