Charlie Atkinson
Gloucester’s Charlie Atkinson was born in Oxford and began his professional rugby career with Wasps. The fly half made his debut for the club at just 18 years old and quickly became a mainstay in the squad. Atkinson then moved to Leicester Tigers before joining Gloucester in the 2023-24 season. He came through the England age grade pathway and has also started each of England A’s last three games, notching up 12 points from the tee. Atkinson was recently called into Steve Borthwick’s training squad ahead of England XV v France XV.

Matches played
The fly half, or 10, is tactically aware, confident under pressure and vocal. The first receiver of the ball from the scrum half, they are often the key figure in organising a team’s attack and defence - quick decision making and outstanding handling and kicking skills are essential.
