Pat Lam has given up on his Andy Uren experiment and granted the scrum half a release from his contract at Bristol Bears three years earlier than planned to join Italian URC side Benetton Treviso from the 2023/24 season.
The 27-year-old Bristolian, who has made over 150 appearances for his boyhood club, has been granted an early contract release request to join the Italian side having only signed a massive three-year extension until 2026 back in September.
Director of Rugby Pat Lam said: “Andy came to us with a very significant offer on the table from Benetton to go there as first-choice scrum half and asked us to consider the possibility of a release.
