Olly M - new deal
Morgan is the 11th player to agree a new deal in recent weeks, but his decision can be regarded as one of the most important because of what he brings to the squad and his popularity with the fans.
A genuine class act who is still only 24 but has been hit by more than his share of cruel injury luck, Morgan is coveted by many other clubs, and his decision can be regarded as a major coup by Glaws.
Coach Bryan Redpath told the Citizen (or did they get it from the club site?): "Olly is another core player for us. We're pleased with where we're at in terms of recruitment, and the stability of having so many guys extending their contracts this early means we can focus our attentions on making sure we achieve what we've set out to for the rest of this campaign.
"Olly offers us genuine quality at full back. There is no-one to compare with him under the high ball and he offers a real attacking threat coming into the line.
"He is rightly ambitious about being successful for his club and representing his country, and Gloucester is somewhere that can help him achieve this."
Morgan himself added: "It's good to have things sorted and be able to concentrate fully on playing for Gloucester. I've been here all my career and once we sat down and talked things through it was an easy decision to sign.
