BEARS SIGN GREEK INTERNATIONAL PROP

Coventry Bears have signed Greek International prop Stefanos Bastas.

Bastas has recently come off a season in France playing for Elite One club St Gaudens Ours also named “The Bears”

Alan Robinson commented:

“I am delighted to bring Stefanos to the club, he is a player I have been aware of for a while and we have come across before. I have also been aware of the work of George Stilianos and the Greek Federation over the past few years and Stefanos has been a great player and ambassador for Greece which is something that added to his character that could not be ignored. Stefanos has featured in League One for a number of years at clubs such as Doncaster and Hemel and he has improved himself immensely in that time. I also know the level of Elite One in France very well having played there myself and there are some very good players in that league and the competition is fiercely competitive. I think he will be a great asset for us and adds a lot to our middle unit. I’m really looking forward to seeing him on the field”
