Coventry Rugby are pleased to announce the re-signing of three of last season’s backrowers, namely Matt Tibbatts, Liam Munro and Jamie Harrop, they join already contracted back row forwards Brett Daynes and Jacques le Roux. 

Matt, Liam and Jamie were all key players for Coventry Rugby last season and the club are delighted to retain them for the coming season. These three players epitomises the attitude, desire and commitment we can expect from the squad this season and the club have no doubt that they’ll be leading from the front, again putting their bodies on the line this season.

Matt Tibbatts, aged 24, joined Coventry in season 2010/11. Preferring to play at No 8 he has also played in all back row positions. Following the injury sustained by Jacques Le Roux, Matt played most of the season at No 8 making 20 appearances including 19 starts and scoring 8 tries.

A hard running, strong No 8 Matt has proved adept at scoring tries this season and gives his all during the match.

Liam Munro joined Coventry Rugby from Rugby Lions at the start of last season. Playing mainly at flanker in the No 7 shirt, Liam is another strong and fast player, who made 20 appearances last season including 2 as replacement and scoring 4 tries.

Jamie Harrop, another player who joined Coventry Rugby 3 seasons ago this time from Stourbridge Saxons, again he has played in all back row positions, Jamie has also been called into the team as a replacement hooker. Last season he made 10 appearances including 1 as a replacement and scored 1 try. A nonstop player Jamie has a very high tackle count in his matches.

Coventry Rugby confirm that these three signings bring the retained list from last season up to 14, with more in the pipeline,in addition to the 7 new  players already advised.
