Coventry Rugby are pleased to announce the signing of two more forwards, lock Tom Hicks and prop forward Chris Beer.
TOM HICKS, aged 20, has represented England at U18 and 19 levels, and is currently attached to Premiership side Northampton Saints. A lock forward standing at 6ft 8ins Tom has already played for the Nighthawks against Moseley, and is expected to make his debut in the Coventry side to face Blaydon this Saturday.
Born in Wegberg ,Germany Tom comes to Coventry from Northampton on a dual registration loan. Earlier in the season he played on loan for fellow National League 1 side Cambridge, playing for them 5 times so he does bring experience of this level to Coventry.
Tom will be looking to push on his career with Northampton and feels his time at Coventry will give him the opportunity of more game time.
CHRIS BEER, aged 22 joins form National league 2 side Loughborough Students. A loose head prop but who is also able to play tight head, Chris feels that at Coventry will give him the opportunity to play at a higher level.
Currently Chris is halfway through a degree course in Sports Science and Business Management at Loughborough University. He has also played for the Nighthawks in the recent game against the Army, where he gave an impressive performance.
Born in Dorking, Surrey Chris started his love of rugby when playing for his local mini rugby side.
