He's retired and now runs a gym in Leicester that's co-owned with Genge.
Hopefully that means Ellis will return here at some point, once he realises that he's wasting his time at Bristol.
Tigers for the premiership and European Cup. Get behind the team and make some noise!!

MVS was some player, best no.7 since Back for me. Literally could do everything as an openside, turnovers, big tackles, ferocious carrier. I wonder if we’d have kept Brink who was quality too if we’d have known.

Shame that injury ended both of their playing time for us :smt022
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

We signed Wiese as a back up 8 to Brink who was recovering from a long term injury. After Brink left we were able to up Jasper's wages to that of a starting player
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.
