Jersey have named new signing Alex Rae as their club captain.Despite being a newcomer to the team, the 27-year-old lock, who played for Wasps last season, represented England at Sevens as well as at Under-18, U19 and U21 levelswas Director of Rugby Ben Harvey's first choice for the post

Rae said, "It's a huge honour to captain any team at this level and even more so to lead Jersey. Ben emphasised to us that it's more like representing a country when playing for the Island and that a great deal of responsibility comes with that". 

"I've settled in really well and get on with everyone here so it's been a really easy transition.  I'm not a massive talker, but if something needs to be said then I'll say it. I think the things you do around the Club and how you portray yourself on the pitch say a lot, so I'm going to be more about actions than speaking needlessly".

Rae's first test will be against Leicester Tigers on August 24th when the big kick off gets underway at 3pm.
