City grandee and Revolut chairman Martin Gilbert has emerged as an investor in the rebel R360 rugby union league.
Gilbert, formerly of Aberdeen Asset Management, is named on Companies House as a director of AOTG Sport Ltd alongside former Bath Rugby captain Stuart Hooper and former agent Mark Spoors, who are founders of the R360 rebel league with England World Cup winner Mike Tindall.
