Knights Sign Back Row Harry Wilson

13th June 2023

The club are thrilled to announce the signing of back row Harry Wilson ahead of the 2023/24 season. 

Harry joins the Knights from Championship competition, Ampthill, having originally signed at Dillingham Park ahead of the 2022/23 season.

Discussing Harry’s becoming a Knight, Head Coach Steve Boden said: “We’re really excited that Harry has chosen to progress his career with Doncaster. We’ve kept an eye on Harry since he started playing in the Championship with London Scottish.

“We feel like he’s got a lot of raw potential. He’s a big man, abrasive in the collision and he’s got a good skillset for a big man. So, we’re really excited to see him kick-on.

“We feel he’s got the attributes to play at the highest level and we’ll see how he fits in to our environment. He knows a few of our guys already, and they spoke well of him as a person, which makes it a seamless transition for him coming in.”

Harry’s Championship experience, alongside his time as an Ampthill forward, includes a short spell with London Scottish as well as time with Hartpury. The latter was familiar surroundings for the back rower who had been a part of the University’s BUCS set up – winning the title 3 years in a row, and in his last year doing so as captain.

Prior to his time at the Alpas Arena, Harry spent 2 years developing his skills as a member of Gloucester’s senior Academy.

The 26-year-old forward makes the switch to Castle Park after hearing positive things about the rugby set-up which he will now look to test himself in.

“Signing for Doncaster Knights is a real privilege. After speaking to Bodes and a few players, I found out very quickly how impressive the programme is and that there is real ambition.

“I’m looking forward to representing the club and making sure we’re as successful as possible.”

We look forward to seeing what Harry can bring to the Knights throughout 2023/24.
