Pooler sign Jamie Jeune for next season

Pontypool RFC is pleased to announce that the club has signed Jamie Jeune for the 2014/2015 season.

Jeune, 29, returns to Pooler having first joined the club in 2005, where he made 149 appearances before moving to Newport RFC ahead of the 2012/2013 season.

Jeune began to make his return to Pontypool RFC during last season when he represented the club five times, including the 31-16 victory over Narberth RFC in March.

“I’m over the moon to be back where I belong with Pontypool RFC and playing at Pontypool Park, after my short experience down the road,” said Jeune. “This experience has made me realise how much the club means to me and I really am looking forward to helping to play my part in taking the club back to where it belongs in the Principality Premiership.”

Pontypool RFC Director of Rugby, Alun Carter, said: “Jamie Jeune is a Pontypool boy who has played for the club previously. He has that rare commodity for a prop forward of having footballing ability whilst still being able to perform his primary role at set piece. He also has a high standard of fitness for a front rower that is going to be a key aspect for us throughout next season.”
