The 22-year-old, who began his career at Wasps, scored 59 points in 23 matches for Leicester and was invited to the England senior squad training camp in June last year.
Atkinson said: “It’s a great opportunity for me to join a good group of players and staff and I’m excited to make my mark.
“I’ve enjoyed my time in Leicester over the last year, but Kingsholm is a place I’ve always relished playing at because the fans make an incredible atmosphere, so it’ll be nice having them on my side now.
“I can’t wait to get out there in a Cherry and White jersey.”

The writer here ignores the fact that, following on from not taking the penalty kick, the All Blacks did manage to score a try a few minutes later. Not directly from the penalty awarded, but it is speculation to say that had they opted to take the koi they would have won. Even if they kicked it, which was no guarantee, they would still be trailing and would have had to start again at half-way.
