Nick Koster dies at the age of 34

The South African-born back row played 62 times for the club between 2013 and 2017, making a remarkable impact on and off the field during his five seasons with Bristol.

In 2017, Koster was shortlisted for Community Player of the Season for his incredible work with the club’s Community Foundation, giving up hours of his own time to a number of programmes and initiatives with young people in the city.

Our thoughts, prayers and love are with Nick’s wife Jeannie and his two young children.

The family requests privacy at this time.
