Tindall keen to stay at Gloucester



Former England captain Mike Tindall said Monday that he wanted to stay at Gloucester despite being refused a new contract last month by the club's then director of rugby Bryan Redpath.

"I'm waiting for someone to be put in charge at Gloucester - I'm assuming it will have to happen fairly soon - to see if there is not something I can still offer the club," Tindall told the Daily Telegraph.

"Perhaps it's not too late. I am not a believer in moving just for the sake of it. In a pretty long career as a professional I have done eight years at Bath and now seven at Gloucester."

Tindall had initially looked into moving to France when Redpath refused his bid for a contract extension but admitted one offer he was made "fell apart" and prompted him to focus again on staying with his current club.
