Nathan Jones

Doncaster Knights Director of Rugby is delighted to have secured the services of former Coventry scrum half Nathan Jones for the coming season.

Howells said that he had been interested in Jones since his first year with the Knights when he had an outstanding performance against his side just after he joined the Doncaster club.

Doncaster Assistant Coach Brett Davey worked with Nathan when he was the Head Coach at the Midland’s club and the opportunity for the two of them to work together again was one of the reasons why Jones said he was attracted to the Castle Park club.

Nathan played more than 40 games for Coventry in the Championship over the past three seasons in spite of missing a significant period of time due to a back problem that was eventually diagnosed as being due to a food intolerance. He then suffered a freak injury that put him back another couple of months.

26 year old Nathan represented England at Under 19 level whilst with Leicester Tigers Academy and has also played for England Counties.

Howells said he is looking forward to the competition between Nathan Jones and incumbent scrum half Chris Hallam for the No 9 shirt this coming season
