Harry Simpson has been named as Nottingham Rugby’s player of the month for January.

Simpson has started 2 of Nottingham’s 3 January fixtures and came off the bench after 15 minutes in the defeat at Ampthill.

The University of Nottingham student has laid claim to the number 15 shirt, with the injury to Evan Mitchell, and it would appear that Craig Hammond will have a real selection debate when Mitchell returns to fitness.
