Scottish star moves to Coventry Rugby.
By Tom Little
June 7 2011
Coventry Rugby have acted swiftly to cover the loss of Nick Southern and Seb Pearson from last season’s Coventry back row, with the signing of 6ft 2in No 8 Jonny Pelter from the Watsonians Club. Jonny , who is aged 22, has just finished his degree in Edinburgh and has been playing for the Scottish Premiership club Watsonians whilst at University.
Originally a member of Bedford Academy, whom he captained, Jonny had previously turned down an offer to stay at Bedford and decided to complete his studies at Edinburgh.
He now wishes to move into a rugby career and looks forward to assisting both his career and Coventry Rugby as they continue to make steady progress to improving their squad.
A hard running , tackling and skilful No 8 Jonny will bring a new dimension to Coventry’s pack giving further options to an already impressive back row, including the recent signing of Jamie Miller.

Welcome to Cov, Jonny.
We played them in the strange play off system we have up here (bottom 4 of prem 1 against top 4 of prem 2). They came 5th out of the 8, we were 7th.
He was not in the squad that day, and I haven't seen him play, so I can't comment about him, but if any one is interested, highlights of the game we had with them are on Border Rugby TV youtube at [">www.youtube.com]
I am pleased to see a few of last seasons players have commited to the club.
Does anyone know if Greg the winger has signed up for this season yet?
Well Done Lads
COME ON COV!!!!!!!!!

If you mean Jeff Gregson, nothing has been released by the club yet.
If you keep an eye on this thread it contains a complete list of players who played for Cov in NL1 last season and any news that has come about about where they are now.
- I must be losing my marbles, I have no idea why i called him Gregg - Must have mixed up his surname in there somewhere!
I thought he did well for us last season, hope he does sign on again for us . Then hopefully i should get his name right by then !
Sorry Jeff if you read these posts!
Squad is coming together nicely at the minute, looking forward to the season ahead already!
WELCOME TO COV RUGBY JONNY
COME ON COV!!!!
