Matthew Durbridge, Hobie Riches, and Charlie West have all been named in Nottingham Rugby’s squad to face Leicester Tigers tomorrow afternoon.
The NTU students have spent pre-season training with Champ Rugby side Nottingham, and have been rewarded with an inclusion in their pre-season squad that travel to Mattioli Woods Welford Road. All three have been named as replacements that will appear in the second half of the fixture.
Matthew Durbridge and Hobie Riches, both former Leicester Tigers Academy players, will have added excitement around the fixture as they return to their former club. Hobie appeared in this fixture last season, whilst Matthew Durbridge appeared 2 years ago vs Ampthill.
NTU head coach, David Ross, added “it’s exciting to see the these lads included tomorrow, they’ve all worked extremely hard and deserve their place in the squad.”
“This will be Charlie’s debut for Nottingham, a very exciting moment for him, and yet another example of just how important the University pathway is to professional rugby.”
