Moseley have signed Josh Olver at hooker. The club announcement is a bit light on detail, but I can see that he's been at Wuss in the past (possibly in their academy?) and was playing for Droitwich a couple of years ago.

Press release from Moseley: Birmingham
Moseley share a joint announcement regarding the departure of Ashley
Johnson to take forward his coaching career with Wasps. Following Richard Beck’s decision to step down from his role due to personal reasons, Wasps are delighted to announce that former player, Ashley Johnson, has agreed a deal to become the Club’s new Senior Academy Forwards Transition Coach. Fan favourite Johnson, who joins us from National League 1 side Birmingham Moseley Rugby, won the hearts of the Wasps faithful during his time as a backrow in the eight years he spent at the Club between 2012 and 2020. Speaking of Johnson’s signing, Men’s Head Coach, Lee Blackett, said: “To have one of the best signings in our history back at the Club is great news. During his time as a player, he was a key member of the squad and his energy around the training ground was infectious. “He understands what it means to be a Wasp, which is a huge advantage for an Academy Coach who is developing players to join the senior squad. “His work at Birmingham Moseley has been impressive and we are delighted to have him back with us.” Johnson shared his excitement to be joining Wasps Academy: “I am delighted to be joining Wasps Academy and look forward to developing the next generation of Wasps Players. “I want to thank Birmingham Moseley for giving me the opportunity to learn and grow as a coach in the last couple of years. Adam Balding and Pete Glackin have been instrumental in mentoring me and I want to wish them and the Club all the best for the new season. “I am excited be a part of Wasps again, it almost feels like all those years back when I first joined the Club.” Beck, who joined Wasps in June 2019, has been instrumental in the Academy set up during his time. The Club would like to thank him for his hard work and dedication during his time with us. Matt Williams, Academy Manager, commented: “Richard leaves Wasps with our very best wishes, he has been a crucial part of the Academy staffing group over the last few years. His work ethic & knowledge have earnt him great respect from staff & players alike. He will be a tough act to follow. “It will be great to welcome Ashley back to the environment. His knowledge of the game is excellent and will really add to the players development. It will also be an excellent opportunity for Ashley to continue his development as a coach!” Adam Balding, Birmingham Moseley Director of Rugby said: “ Ashley came to us following a stellar playing career with South Africa and Wasps as a player & forwards coach. Ashley quickly made his mark both on and off the field becoming an inspiration to players, particularly in our mini and junior sections. Although relatively new to the coaching role he passed on his considerable experience to players at all levels of the club. Ashley was instrumental in helping Birmingham Moseley to gain a reputation for having one of the most formidable packs in National League 1. Whereas we are sorry to see Ashley go we are proud to have played a part in helping him pursue his coaching career and we wish him every success in his new role with Wasps, the door will always be open to welcome Ashley and his family back to Billesley Common.” Ashley played a few games last season, usually at hooker, but I don't think was intending to this season. We'll miss him, but we clearly can't stand in his way when an opportunity like this presents itself.

Full time with the Frog Squad now then. (Sounds odd, but it's what the family business is called. I used to do a bit of part timing for his granddad back in the seventies. Next village to me, and also the next village to the one that another former Cov forward was brought up in. Richard Coc kerill).

Cambridge new signing We are really pleased to announce the signing of Welsh midfielder, Tom Hoppe. He is a promising young centre who has developed in the Dragons Academy over the last few seasons. Hoppe was included in Wales U20 Six Nations squad in 2019 and represented Wales in the World Rugby Junior Championship. He has also played Welsh Premiership rugby for Newport, Bedwas and Cardiff. DoR Richie Williams commented, “I am excited to watch Tom pull on the Cambridge shirt this season. He is an exciting young player who will add quality to our back line. He already has a wealth of experience and his physical attributes will complement both our defence and attack. I must say a huge thank you to Price Bailey, one of our key corporate partners; who Tom will begin working with in August. It once again demonstrates the strong relationships we place on supporting players on and off the field.” Tom added “I am delighted to be joining Cambridge this season. I liked the vision of the club that Richie had and Cambridge is a fantastic city to live and work. With the players we have, I am hoping to be pushing for promotion into the Championship. They have a really exciting squad and a strong coaching team. It will be my first year playing in England and I can’t wait to begin.”

Rian has a terrific turn of speed and a real finisher’s eye for the line. He deserves a crack at National 1 and I’m sure working with Richie Williams will make him an even better player.

With the recruitment so far DMP could be a surprise package, if the scrum and front row are solid to let their backs go! Who knows they could push Rosslyn Park? Apparently there are a few more to be announced also - returning players and additional all blacks and a few from north of the border.

Darlington Mowden Park have welcomed a trio of Durham University players into the 1st XV squad as preparations continue for the 2022/23 season. Joe Collier (scrum half), Hamish Murray and Michael Carr (both props) have all joined up with Mowden’s pre-season training sessions, and will be available at certain periods around their university commitments. The trio will continue to train with the club during pre-season and the early part of the season before the Durham programme starts back up in full. Asked about welcoming them into the squad, DMP Director of Rugby Garry Law said: “It's been great having the lads involved so far. Hopefully we can see some availability from them in the early part of the season and at periods throughout. They have integrated very well into the squad and added competition throughout.” Edited by Fake_Shemp - 27 Jul 2022 at 12:14 |

Very good player. If the national 7s teams were organised he'd be playing for England.
