Bristol Rugby chief executive officer Steve Gorvett has confirmed that head coach Richard Hill has left the club.

Gorvett explained: "We had already agreed with Richard that he would be leaving the club at the end of the season but given the position we are in believe it to be more appropriate for Richard to leave now and for Paul Hull to take over as head coach."

Hill joined Bristol Rugby in July 2003 following the club's relegation to the first division. He guided the club to promotion at the end of the 2004/5 season and has overseen four seasons in the Guinness Premiership.
