Stoke-on-Trent Rugby Club has strengthened its squad once again by bringing in a skillful winger from a Staffordshire rival.
Nick Palmer joins from Leek having spent most of his career with the club.
He also had spells at Derby Rugby Club and has represented Staffordshire County First Team for a number of years, playing at Twickenham in cup finals on two separate occasions.
Head Coach Chris Rowley sang the praises of his latest recruit.
“I have known Nick for a long time and he is somebody that has been on our radar to sign for a while now,” he told Sport in Staffs.
“We nearly signed him a couple of seasons ago but it didn’t quite materialise and I am very pleased that the timing is much better for him now. He is an incredible athlete, very powerful and fast but is also experienced and understands and can read the game very well.
“He was the top league try scorer in Staffordshire last season so it is a great signing for us. Nick has played representative rugby with a lot of our players which will enable him to settle in very quickly and I certain that Nick will hit the ground running next season!”
