Peter Bracken has left Bristol after a torrid time with the club and opted to join up with Harlequins.
31-year-old Bracken joined Bristol from Wasps in 2007 but has only made 14 appearances for the club as a result of persistent shoulder injuries and loss of form.
Bristol coach Richard Hill commented, “Bracks is a lovely man and a very good player but it hasn’t worked out for him here. I understand that he has now decided to try to further his career with Harlequins and he goes with our best wishes.”
