Birmingham Moseley are pleased to announce the addition of four players to the 2018/2019 squad.
Most welcome is the confirmation that the 2017/18 Player’s Player of the Season James Tideswell has been retained. Unfortunately it will still be some time before we see James back in action as he continues his recovery from an injury picked up last season, but be assured he will be looking to re-establish his position as the cornerstone of the pack as soon as possible.
Also in the front row two new hookers join the 1st XV in Joe Roe and Jamie White. Joe will look to take the opportunity of establishing himself as first choice in the number 2 shirt while Jamie is signed on loan to cover the current injury to Ryan Roach.
A significant addition to the forward lineup is the signing of Second Row & No 8 CJ Osazuwa from Blackheath. 6’ 5” CJ is a Nigerian XV & 7s International who is also an accomplished sportsman in Volleyball and Cricket, as well as having been a semi-professional soccer player with Dunbar and Musselburgh. CJ grew up in Scotland and has experience playing for Edinburgh Academy and Heriots before eventually moving south of the border to play for Northampton Academy, Richmond and Chinnor. Last season CJ was ever present in the starting lineup for Blackheath.
Off the field the club also confirmed that Harley Williams will take on the role of 1st XV Manager for the coming season.
