Gallagher PREM side Bristol Bears have suspended hooker Will Capon after the former England U20s player was charged with rape.
The 26-year-old appeared in court on Friday, having been accused of the assault in Exeter in September 2021.
Capon, who has spent 12 years at Bristol after joining the club's academy in 2014, denied the charge when he appeared at Exeter Crown Court last week and he will now stand trial at the same court in September next year after being granted unconditional bail.
Bristol have confirmed that the front rower was suspended from "all club activities" after being charged.
A brief statement from the Crown Prosecution Service read: “Will Capon is charged with one count of rape.
"Next hearing is a case management hearing scheduled for 26 July, 2027 at Exeter Crown Court.”
