REVEALED: Every Premiership club's worst transfer of all-time - including Rob Baxter's disaster

What a corker to start off with. The rugby league superstar was signed for by the black, blue and whites for a £500k transfer fee on huge money, joining in October 2014.

Following the disastrous 2015 World Cup campaign, Burgess quit rugby union after just 12 months, opting to return to South Sydney Rabbitohs, signing a three-year contract. An absolute flop.

The Ireland international second-row arrived at Ashton Gate in 2016 but left the club two years later by mutual consent after making just eight appearances. He went onto struggle at Stade Francais.

Signed for the club in 2011 but was registered under his Aussie passport and therefore cost the club 2 points and £5,000 for fielding too many overseas players.

He was then convicted of drink driving, banned from the road for 18 months, and released by the club in May 2011. Nadolo failed to score a single try in his four appearances for the Chiefs. His career has done nothing but rise ever since so that's nice.

This one is still quite baffling. The Gloucester faithful thought they'd made a game-changing signing when Scotland's record point-scorer moved to Kingsholm in 2007. Boy were they wrong.

Paterson's spell with the Cherry & whites was largely disappointing and the fullback left to return to Edinburgh at the end of his first season in the Premiership. He made just 14 uninspiring appearances.

A winger with an eye for a try almost everywhere he went, but one who played like he had no eyes at all at Quins.

The speedster returned to England following stints with Toulon and Stade Francais, moving to Twickenham Stoop ahead of the 2013/14 season.

However, following one less than impressive season at Twickenham Stoop, scoring just two tries, the England international hung up his boots. Past it.

Trained with the Exiles for a few weeks before deciding it wasn’t for him and retired. The one-time Premiership record points-scorer then resurfaced at Newcastle in December 2015 where his experience and prolific boot saved them from relegation with London Irish going down. Made it onto the Rugby Players’ Association Player of the Year shortlist.

Falcons announced in May 2004 that the Brumbies loose forward had signed on a two-year deal, believed to be worth £150,000 per season. However, the recently-capped Wallaby got cold feet and pulled out of the move claiming he’d only ever signed a letter of intent. Rob Andrew was adamant at the time that agreement to join the Falcons was binding.

It didn't really work for the big man at Franklin's Gardens after he joined from Wasps in 2018. Five appearances during an injury-ravaged season proved to be the 77-cap England flankers final season as a professional rugby player.

This signing had every Sale fan very excited with the Scottish powerhouse penning a three-year contract.

However, the giant Scot would only stay for one season, playing 16 underwhelming matches, scoring one try before joining French club Castres. Never had such a big man, done so little.

What can you say about this man that hasn’t already been said? Henson had not played professional Rugby for 18 months before joining Sarries in 2010 but was an exciting addition nevertheless with the 33-cap Wales international making his debut on boxing day.

After failing to break into the team regularly, Henson secured the release from his contract in February 2011 and joined Toulon shortly after.

A deal that offered so much, but delivered nothing.

Despite being 33, there was excitement when the World Cup-winning hooker signed a three-year deal with Wasps in May 2011.

However, in December, after making just one appearance, Thompson announced his immediate retirement from the game, following a recurrence of a serious neck injury sustained in training in late-October. This required surgery to relieve symptoms of numbness and dizziness, but to carry on playing would carry serious risk to his health.

DID YOU KNOW? The England hooker was nominated for World Player of the Year in 2003, losing out to teammate Jonny Wilkinson

Who Else? The centre will go down as the worst value for money transfer in rugby history we'd imagine.

Arriving in 2016, despite solid form for England during this stint, the Warriors fans barely saw him in his three years at Sixways, which is not what you want from your highest paid player.

Waste of money.
