Birmingham Moseley Announce Nine More Signings



With the clubs first pre-season game at home this Saturday against Neath a further nine players have been confirmed for the 2016/17 squad which will contest the upcoming National One season.

Of last season’s squad both centre Tim Molenaar and back row Harry Hone will be returning to red and black colours.



Joining Harry in the back row is promising young Cardiff University player Tom Wilson. In the second row Aaron Crofts joins from Old Coventrians.



The front row of the scrum is strengthened by the signing of two hookers. Jake Farnsworth joins the club from Leicester Tigers while Will Crane makes the step up from Moseley Oak.



In the back line we welcome Jonathan Lea a scrum half from Birmingham University and rounding off the new signings we have two wingers. Charles Baffour makes the move to Billesley Common from Barking along with flying Hartpury wing Mark Harrison.

Welcome to the club. We have signed some from lower leagues who come with a good background. The average age of the squad must be in mid 20's. Can't wait for season to start. See you Saturday. Come on Birmingham Mose......................

I think that our new ex-Tigers hooker is Jake FARNWORTH not Farnsworth.

Just come back from nearly two weeks away on hols and the first thing I noticed on the comms "nine more signings" report - a very welcome report I might add - is that we still have Buster Lawrence on the background photo. Why on earth have we not have Chris Brightwell or any other current Moseley player on show rather than an EX Moseley player?

Come on Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooose.

Simply Phil that we change the background photo when we have one from the new season in that seasons kit.

Good to hear about all the signings let's hope they can handle the step up and we can challenge this season. The part time issue can't/won't be a factor this season. Key for me will be whether LD has what he needs to build a pack that can win its own ball. Still raw how painful it was to watch last season.

We have strength in depth in many areas but still have only three props signed. No way that we could get through the season without extra resources in that area but I'm sure that it is being addressed.

Birmingham Moseley enjoy busy summer ahead of National One campaign
Former Leicester Tigers and England lock Louis Deacon attracting quality to Mose

‘Birmingham Moseley have announced a raft of signings that complete their line-up for the coming National One campaign.

And the presence of hooker Jake Farnsworth’s name on the list is an indication of the impact that the presence of former Leicester Tigers and England lock Louis Deacon as forwards coach could have on the red-and-blacks’ recruitment…………..’
