Birkenhead Park RFC

1. Harley Fox

Harley was at Park last season but arrangements have been put in place to arrange his visa for this season. Harley playing at No.8 was a previous captain of Australian schoolboys and was signed by Queensland Reds and Melbourne Rebels and following that had a season at Connaught in Ireland. He brings with a wealth of experience and talent and after his showings last season Park are looking for more of the same this season.

 

2. Leilani Latu. 

Lani has been a International rugby league prop for Tonga and has played at the highest levels of rugby league representing Tonga, Penrith Panthers and Gold Coast Titans in the NRL followed by stints in the Super League with Warrington Wolves before playing with Widnes Vikings. Lani has had some time away from the sport to concentrate on other interests but was tempted back to play at Park for the coming season. He will bring that professional attitude to the club and will no doubt have a significant impact in the season.

 

3. James Montgomery. 

Moose, as he is affectionately known, has played rugby on the wing at a number of clubs in the north playing at both Sheffield and Northwich. Now living in Liverpool he has opted to join Park for the season.

 

4. Thomas White. 

Chalkie has played at a higher level having been player of the year last season at Northwich and can play both at No 8 and second row. He brings the experience that will be necessary to make improvements to Parks performances on the pitch.

 

5. Niall Grant. 

Niall is a product of Ellesmere Port RUFC and has been captain for a number of seasons. He has taken the decision to step up a few leagues to try his hand with Park and the prop looks like he has the physical attributes to make an impression this season.

 

6. Nick Baldwin. 

Fly half Nick will be an instrumental part of the Park back line this season having played previously at Darlington, Otley and Northwich. His command from the No10 position will be key this season and it is expected his use of the ball will make the best of the Park back line.
