Charlie Clarke signs for the Bears

Charlie Clarke in action for Loughborough Students

We are very happy to announce the signing of Loughborough student centre Charlie Clarke.

Tom Tsang commented on Charlies signing:

"Charlie is a centre hailing from Nottingham and was junior at the Nottingham Outlaws as well as a member of the Midlands Hurricanes Academy before starting studying at Loughborough University. 

He attended our trial day and was among 8 players who we offered an extended trial through preseason training. 

Since then he has already shown great improvement and worked very hard to display his ability, fitting into the squad well.

As a player he runs intelligent lines, has good footwork and is in shape. He has much to learn still and playing at League 1 will be a big step up for him but if he keeps buying into how we do things he will be great value for us."

Charlie commented:
"I’m ecstatic to be signing for the Bears this season. I've been aware of the Bears for a couple of years now due to players such as Harry Chapman and Hayden Freeman who have always held the club in high regard. When I heard there was opportunity for me to join, I didnt hesitate."
