Eddie Fraher said “Joe was unlucky with injury last season and missed out for long periods. He’s stayed close and we are really happy to have him in the squad for next season”.

Joe commented “I’m really excited for a new season with the Geese after missing all of last year with injury. I’m looking forward to getting stuck into pre season and pushing to bounce back up”.

Head Coach, John Lacey said “Joe has looked good in training so far, he’s a big lad and adds height to our line out. He’s picked up the changes we are looking to make to how we play, very quickly.

He’s missed a season through injury but you couldn’t tell that by his actions. I’m looking forward to seeing him competing on the pitch in August”.
