Scotland pair pen new Gloucester deals

Scotland internationals Alasdair Strokosch and Scott Lawson have signed new two-year contracts with Gloucester.

Flanker Strokosch, who has won 14 caps, joined Gloucester from Edinburgh in 2007, while 16 times-capped hooker Lawson left Sale Sharks for Kingsholm in September 2008. Both players have been regular first-team starters this season.

"Both players have been excellent so far for Gloucester this season, and are exactly the type of characters we want in the squad going forward," said head coach Bryan Redpath.

"The pair of them signing shows their commitment to the club and continues our work in retaining our key players for next season and beyond."
