Doncaster Knights are delighted to announce that centre, Joe Margetts will be returning to the club for the 2025/26 season after a year with French club, USBPA.

Margetts returns to the club after a very succesful year in France, playing 19 games, 17 of them for the first XV. 

Joe’s first Championship experience was for west country side, Hartpury. While studying buisness management he played for the university side in the higest level of BUCS, before reamaining in the area post-graduation to play for the Championship side. 

In 2021, he moved up North for his first stint with Doncaster Knights, where he stayed for three seasons before his move to France. He was a big presence in the squad when here before, making 60 apperances and scoring 14 tries. We are delighted that he will be returning to us for the 2025/26 season.

Head of recruitment Matt Harland said:

“We were all gutted when Marg left for France last season. So, to be able to bring him back, we are delighted. The fact we have been able to attract Marg back is a real credit to the environment the lads have created and he can see what we are building at the club.

“As a player we know exactly what we are getting which is a robust ball carrier capable of producing some brilliant moments in games. Welcome back Marg!”
