Seven more Cougars sign on for next season. : Mon Aug 10, 2009 9:00 pm  

Keighley Cougars RLFC have re-signed seven players from their existing playing staff for next season.

Stand off Jon Presley, scrum half Danny Jones, prop forwards Andy Shickell and Scott Law, back row forward Oliver Pursglove, winger Gavin Duffy and utility forward Jamaine Wray have all signed contracts that will keep them at Cougar Park until the end of the 2010 season.

This latest batch of players has followed the example of club captain James Feather, who signed a new deal last week.

Cougars Head Coach Barry Eaton said: “It’s a significant moment for the team and the club in that we have been able to secure these key players for next season.

“I’m expecting to talk to more players in the next few days. There’s no list of priorities and I’m simply meeting each player as I get an opportunity to talk to them.

“I’m delighted that we have been able to reach agreement with these players because I believe that we’re building a Cougars team not only for the present but also for the future”.

HI GW

Please dont take this as a critisism I'm just trying to understand the rules.

Obviously this article is from the main site, so how is it that you dont need to say where it has come from. I thought copying and pasting entire articles was not allowed.

Again please dont take this as me having a go, its just an honest question.

Hi Panth

I am answering on GW's behalf but hopes this answers your query.

We send GW the press releases that go out to all press and also on the website so that you guys get up to date information as soon as possible.

Therefore he doesn't copy and paste but posts on my behalf.

Hope that helps
