Scrum-half James Mitchell is staying on the island and has taken up a coaching role at amateur side Jersey RFC, while fellow scrum-half James Elliot has rejoined Newcastle Falcons and prop Stevie Longwell joined Italian side Zebre.

Centre Dan Barnes has agreed to play for Channel Island rivals Guernsey Raiders while winger Ben Woollett has joined Leicester Tigers and lock John Hawkins has moved to Newcastle Falcons.

Fly-half Josh Barton has joined Championship side Ampthill while Reds' director of rugby Harvey Biljon has taken up a short-term role as a consultant at Rotherham Titans, supporting the club's new head coach Gareth Lewis.
