Moseley are pleased to confirm the signing today of Premiership centre Tim Molenaar from London Welsh.
Tim brings with him considerable experience at the highest level of club rugby in England having made 21 appearances for Harlequins and 79 for Gloucester prior to his time at Welsh. A product of university rugby in New Zealand, the North Islander also played for Championship rivals Nottingham for five seasons.
At 6’ 3” (1.9M) and nearly 17 stone Tim brings a considerable physical presence to the Moseley midfield, coupled with exceptional handling skills and an ability to break defensive lines.
Molenaar will be greeted by a familiar face at Billesley Common in last season’s Supporters Player of the Season Chris Brightwell, who is his brother-in-law.
As a double boost to Moseley’s upcoming campaign Chris has signed an extension to his contract that will keep him at the Common until the end of the 2016/17 season, a clear statement of his and the club management’s belief in Moseley’s future.
The former England 7s player has proved to be a key part of the Moseley squad from his position at the back of the scrum. An ability to make yards with ball in hand when it seems impossible and pace to rival most backs has seen Chris step forward into a leadership role in the squad since he joined in 2013.
