 Jake Sterland re-joins the Leicester Lions for his fourth season for the 25 /26 campaign. The former Leicester Tigers Academy and England U18 winger is a very powerful runner who also competed in the 100m at the English Schools Athletics Championships.

Stortford released a load of players today including 4 or 5 who regularly made match day squads. Have retained 17 and are on the lookout for new players.

Bit of a shame imo. They ended the season very well and seemed to have a settled squad. Will need a few good recruits to bulk the squad up.

Stortford 10 has signed for Rams. I recall him being a class player when they visited OBR last season.

Does that mean Fraser Honey is moving on, or would one of them play full-back ?

Maybe Leeds Tykes should offer him something tasty to go up North…a scary lack of new incomings for their step up.

I believe he's signed for London Scottish. Shame, he was a top bloke.

I heard the Stortford 10 (Cooke) didn't get on well with the coach and had a few spells on the sidelines for it.

From the little I saw of him he looked a good player and excellent kicker.

The biggest loss imo will be Langworthy, a big kiwi back row with a mullet and tache. He's pretty much started every game for the last 3 seasons. The starting winger Smith also retiring I believe.

Be interesting to see how they replace them.
