Phil Davies is pleased to announce 2 new backs have joined the squad and have signed for the 2021 season that admirably fit the recently announced recruitment and retention rationale
The three key points are;
- Type of characteristics we wanted to build the club on
- It needed to be about local talent based or working in Leeds
- Balance between youth & experience
Will Hardwick
Scrum half, a feisty, competitive character with good basics to his game in particular his running game.
Will was captain at Bedford Modern School where no doubt his father Rob passed on his silky skills from his illustrious career as a prop. Will also has two brothers that play fly half and prop.
James Tincknell
Ex Leeds Carnegie player who made his debut in 2010 having started his adult rugby career at Old Otliensians comes with bags of experience that will help the young players around him, will bring a big physical presence to the midfield.
James is also an accomplished cricketer and played for MCC young cricketers
