Birmingham Moseley Sign Scottish International Centre Alex Grove from Worcester Warriors

12th July 2016

At the club’s Annual General Meeting last night Director of Rugby Kevin Maggs announced his latest signing, Scottish International and ex Worcester Centre Alex Grove.

Solihull born Grove joins the Birmingham club off the back of over 150 appearances for the Warriors during a ten year period. Always popular with the Sixways fan base Alex found himself inexplicably out of favour under recently departed DoR Dean Ryan, spending a period of last season on loan at London Scottish playing alongside his brother Ollie.

The move to Birmingham Moseley offers Alex the opportunity of regular first XV rugby coupled with the chance to start imparting his considerable knowledge of rugby at the highest levels to up and coming young players at the club. Having been an instrumental part in Worcester progressing to the Premiership Grove will be a vital part of Birmingham Moseley’s drive to re-join The Championship.

Alex qualified for Scotland through his grandfather Ron Wylie the former Aston Villa, Notts County & Birmingham footballer who also managed West Bromwich Albion. In a Scottish shirt Grove enjoyed victories over Fiji and Australia.

Speaking of the signing last night Maggs said “Alex brings with him an impressive level of professionalism when it comes to playing and training and I am sure his presence will raise the bar for the whole squad in terms of effort. Clearly he will have a big impact in both the team and the National One league.”

Alex Grove: Ex-Worcester Warriors centre signs for Birmingham Moseley

[Phil]

Blimey we are honoured!

[southernmose]

Good grief, the BBC have not only remembered that we exist, but also apparently that National One exists.

Well done to whoever did the appropriate arm twisting on that one!

[CJB1]

Err, some bad news has come my way. We thought we'd signed Alex Grove, but when the signature on the contract was checked, we found we'd actually signed Michael Gove ... well, I suppose he'll be at a loose end soon.

[Phil]

Birmingham Moseley RFC switch is a good business move for Alex Grove

[grooveavenue]

Confirmed Mr Gove is deffo at a lose end now!

Good job because had he been the signing he;

1. may have insisted that BMR players spoke more politely to opposing forwards (HOME OFFICE)

2. demanded the closure of Billesley Common as a playing field (EDUCATION)

BUT may now have to apply for a work visa in England! (if he can get one - work and visa that is)

Don't think our Alex is anything like that - do you ?
