Hurrell heads to Bristol
Moving from Doncaster Knights, the centre will link up with his new teammates at the Clifton RFC training base on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old delivered a standout performance during the 2015/16 Championship season, scoring in both legs of the final for Doncaster Knights against Bristol.
His barnstorming displays were rewarded with a place in the Championship team of the year.
Commenting on Bristol's new acquisition, Director of Rugby Andy Robinson said: "We’re pleased to welcome [Hurrell] into the Club. He’s a powerful ball carrier who played a key role in Doncaster’s superb campaign and second placed finish.
"[Hurrell] delivered two very good displays in the play-off final and he caught the eye with his ability to break the gain line. Will has performed consistently in the Championship and his emergence shows what quality there is in that league. He has earned this opportunity and we are confident he can make an impact in the top flight,"
An England Under-20, Hurrell came through the ranks at Leicester Tigers, before enjoying spells at London Welsh, Rotherham and Doncaster.
Grateful to showcase his talent at his new club, Hurrell stated: "’Im looking forward to joining Bristol and having the opportunity to test myself in the Premiership.
"There’s a quality squad here and a great culture – I’m excited to be a part of it. Having experienced the atmosphere at Ashton Gate in that second leg, it’s an inspiring place to play rugby.
"I’m grateful to Doncaster Knights and enjoyed my time there; I would like to thank the players, coaches and staff for their support,"
