Connacht this week say goodbye to their physio Gavin Malouf who is returning home to live in Australia after several years at the Sportsground.

Malouf, pictured on the right above with team doctor John O'Donnell at his last Connacht match in Madrid on Saturday, joined Connacht from the ACT Brumbies.

Gavin took over from Brian Downey (now with Worcester Warriors) and helped continue the development of the medical facilities at the Sportsground.

Connacht players and management made a presentation to Gavin on his final trip with the squad and he returns home to Australia with the very best wishes of all in Connacht.
