Academy star Will Holling became the third youngster to put pen to paper on a new one-year-deal to sign for the Knights as he progresses up the pathway of the club.

The hooker follows in the footsteps of Sam Jones and Sam Pocklington in joining the Doncaster first team from the Academy and has featured most of this season for Doncaster Phoenix with the side currently enjoying a four-game winning streak.

Last summer Will spent four months in Australia with Griffith University after Director of Rugby Clive Griffiths recommended the 22-year-old to a coach over in the country.

The academy has continued his development since his return to England, helping them to a BUCS cup and league double for the second consecutive season.
