Toby Fricker: Bristol Bears re-sign winger on short-term deal

Bristol Bears have re-signed United States winger Toby Fricker on a three-month deal.

The 29-year-old comes in as injury cover after Siva Naulago fractured his cheekbone and Noah Heward suffered a hamstring injury.

Fricker made 32 appearances for Bristol, scoring 12 tries between 2019 and 2023.

He joined Ospreys after leaving Ashton Gate but played just once before joining New England Free Jacks in Major League Rugby.

The former Wales sevens player qualifies for the United States through his American-born mother and made his USA debut in September in the Pacific Nations Cup.
