Titans unveil first signings

The relegated Clifton Lane men have wrapped up 22 newcomers - only three were retained from last season - and the first men to complete the paperwork are centre Jamie Cooke (pictured), prop Jack Bergmanas, fly half Callum Irvine and back rower Seb Nagle-Taylor.

Bergmanas joins from Doncaster,  Irvine from Yorkshire Carnegie and  Nagle-Taylor, from Jersey.

Said director of rugby Martin Jenkinson: "By the end of last season, Jamie was, in my opinion, our most effective three-quarter. He certainly had the physicality that was needed.

"If Jack wasn't in the Doncaster 22 for every game last year then he damn near was and he's a quality loose-head prop.

"Callum came out of Hull Ionians and then signed for Leeds before coming to us. He can play 10 or 15.

"And Seb stood out when Jersey were here last season and he'll also be a quality signing."
