Doncaster sign Saracens front rower as they aim for full squad

Doncaster Knights are edging ever closer to a full squad ahead of next season with the signing of Saracens Alex Brown. The 22-year-old prop arrives at Castle Park from the Aviva Premiership club which he joined in July 2009. And Brown, after impressing with appearances for Saracens Storm in the A League, made his debut in an Amlin Cup victory at Vicarage Road against Rovigo in October of that year. Director of rugby Brett Davey believes the capture of the England U16, U18 and former Blackheath front rower will compliment the club's previous signings ahead of the new season. And Davey thinks Brown's passion, together with the experience of older players like Stuart Corsar and Royce Burke-Flynn, will allow better opportunities in a game. Davey said: "Alex is another player I have a lot of belief in, belief in his attitude not just his ability on the pitch. "You look at what Alex can bring to a game and balance it with the likes of Stuart Corsar, Andy Brown and Royce Burke-Flynn and you have options during a game. "While Stuart and Royce have a higher level of experience, Alex and Andy Brown bring an enthusiasm and determination that gives you a confidence in them."
