Keay makes it a hat-trick


18/ 7/2001

MANCHESTER Rugby Club's Alex Keay has completed a hat-trick of summer signings by securing former Orrell prop Steve Kelly.

And Keay, the club's director of rugby, has promised more new faces ahead of the new season.

Kelly is the latest player to move to Grove Park following the signings of John Gunson, from the Newcastle Academy, and Paul White, from Waterloo.

Keay wants to improve the squad further ahead of their opening league game at Worcester on September 1.

He said: "Steve Kelly is an extremely quick, fit and mobile player which is remarkable given his size.

"He is an experienced, strong scrummager and will add to the competitive environment of our front row.

"I seriously expect him to be a major candidate for the start of the campaign."
