The USA number ten, who made the summer switch from Sale Sharks, linked up with his new teammates on Monday after returning from international duty – and the 32-year-old can’t wait to get started at his new club.
“It’s been good and I’ve been getting to know all of the new faces,” he said. “I’m really excited to be here and we’ve already had some challenging training sessions, but I’m excited to be here and can’t wait to get stuck into the new season.
“Playing against Bristol over the years means I’ve experienced the atmosphere inside Ashton Gate, and arriving here and seeing the facilities at the High-Performance Centre, there’s a lot that drew me down here and I’m pleased to be at the club.”
Regarded as one of the best fly halves in the Premiership, the 32-year-old links up with Pat Lam once again, having helped Connacht to a maiden PRO12 title during the 2015/16 season.
“Pat gave me my first opportunity in professional rugby at Connacht and I learned a lot from him. John Muldoon was the Connacht captain back then and Conor McPhillips was coaching then too, so it’s helped to have these guys here to help me settle into the environment too.
“Everyone I’ve spoken to says Bristol is such an incredible city, so I’m excited to get out and explore when the opportunity arises.”

Worcester Warriors, along with many other businesses and most sports clubs have found the past two years extremely challenging owing to the Covid-19 pandemic and the rise in the cost of living.
We retained our staff but lost income during the various lockdowns during which the overwhelming majority of matches were played behind closed doors.
We returned to normal operations 12 months ago carrying a tax liability to HMRC. From the outset, we have worked closely and openly with HMRC on a plan to clear these liabilities and a Time to Pay (TTP) arrangement has been in place.
The club owners and board are fully committed to preserving top-flight professional rugby in Worcester and have been working on solutions to secure the financial future of Worcester Warriors and to pay outstanding tax owed to HMRC.
A solution, which would secure the long-term future of the club, has been approved. Unfortunately, there have been unavoidable delays beyond the club’s control to the final tasks required to complete the funding.
Having kept HMRC fully apprised of the situation we are disappointed that they have taken the decision to issue a winding-up petition. The club’s directors are in continuing dialogue with HMRC in an attempt to find a speedy and satisfactory resolution.
We have also been in communication with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Sport England, Premiership Rugby and the RFU [Rugby Football Union] regarding this matter.
