Coventry Rugby are delighted to announce  their 11th and 12th new signings, making a total squad of 35 still with a few yet to be named,  with the news that lock forward Ben Thomas has signed for Coventry Rugby from Championship side Rotherham Titans together with fellow lock Martin Wolfenden from Cambridge.

Ben Thomas lock forward aged 27 stands at 6ft 5ins, was previously at Barking, London Welsh and London Scottish before joining the Titans 3 seasons ago, for whom he has played 40 games. Ben has represented England at U16’s,U19’s and U20’s level.

Martin Wolfenden, also standing at 6ft 5ins, joins from NL2 South side Cambridge, and is also a member of the Zimbabwean World Cup squad and the Eastern Counties squad.

Both players add power and strength and experience to the crucial second row role, an area Coventry Rugby struggled with last season after an unprecedented series of injuries. Coventry Rugby are pleased to been able to add two more players to this pivotal role.

Welcome Ben and Martin. We really needed to strengthen our second row options and, hopefully, these two guys will provide us with the additional resources in an area where we were so much found wanting last season.
Here's a thought - will the acquisition of these two guys mean that Scott's playing career is over?
