Jonny May, along with Billy and Mako Vunipola, are all expected to move to France, while the futures of Ollie Devoto and Guy Porter remain uncertain.

Despite being heavily linked to Saracens, May has revealed he will likely head overseas.

May said: “I’d imagine it will be overseas just because I wouldn’t really want to go to another Premiership club I don’t think. I sound ancient now.

“I think I’ve done 15 seasons in the Premiership and my intention after the World Cup was to stay at Gloucester and do one more season at Gloucester and I really wanted to do that, and that hasn’t worked out and that’s nobody’s fault.

“Gloucester’s been a great club for me, amazing club, it’s my home and I really did want to stay. It hasn’t quite worked out but that doesn’t change I feel towards the end of the season. With my little baby, maybe I will play abroad for a season or two.

“There is nothing concrete for me, hopefully something comes up but I’m fully focused on the Gloucester stuff until the end of the season.”

The list was compiled by Wales Online, with the addition of released Saracens players.
