Nigel Mukarati No 6 back row forward Danny Richards is aged 25 and a goal kicking flyhalf. A local player he started off at Barkers Butts and has been at Broad Street for the past 3 years.

In 23 games for Broad Street last season he kicked 201 points averaging almost 9 per game. Danny has jumped at the chance to play for his home town club and the chance to improve his game.

Nigel Mukarati is 23 hailing from Bedfordshire, where he played for Stockwood Park. Nigel did his degree at Coventry University, and whilst there joined Broad Street where he has been for the past 3 seasons. He is most appreciative of the help and opportunity Broad Street gave him to improve his game. A fast and skilful No 6 who likes playing round the fringes backing up the halfbacks. Last season he scored 9 tries for Broad Street. Nigel is excited at the propect of being part of such a prestigious and professional club here at Coventry.

You can only say they were very useful players in National 2.

They will make a big effort to make the step up in standard and we will see the results of that along with however many others there are who make the first team squad from a lower level last season.

Bland but true.

I think, in their assessment, the coaches will be looking for players who have the athletic qualities, basically speed and power, to make the step up.

Danny is a good player. He has good technical skiils, a good passer, a good line leader, and a goal kicker to boot. Of course it will be a step up - but Danny has the skill set to be able to achieve it. I know Nigel is very highly thought of and he performed admirably for the county last season.

These are good signings. Cov need to get back to having a core of decent local lads pulling on the Cov shirt instead of the journeymen of recent seasons.

Whilst we might not be able to challenge the likes of London Scottish this season, if fans can see the team giving 100% effort every game then what more can you ask for from the club in it's current financial state?
