Will Jones Joins DMP for 2021/22

Darlington Mowden Park RFC are delighted to announce the signing of Will Jones for the 2021/22 National One season. The Welsh back row joins from Ospreys, having previously captained his country at Under 20s level. Speaking ahead of his switch to the North East side, the 23 year-old commented: "I'm really excited to be joining DMP. It's been a long time without any competitive rugby so I'm looking forward to getting started!"

Having made his full debut for Ospreys in 2016 at the age of just 18, Jones has gone on to make 18 first team appearances for the Pro 14 club, including a try against Munster at Thomond Park in 2017. The Welshman brings a unique skillset to DMP, with a strong background in Judo seeing him compete at European Youth level. Jones eventually chose to focus on rugby at the age of 16, and has gone on to earn 10 caps at Under 20 level for Wales.

Asked about the newest addition to his squad, DMP Director of Rugby Garry Law added: “We’re really pleased to have Will on board. He comes with a great pedigree having played at very high level with Ospreys, Wales 7s and Wales U20s. He is very much in the mould of a traditional number 7 where his low centre of gravity and wrestling skills shine through.”

“We are very much looking forward to Will adding something to the squad that is being assembled for next season.”

Stay tuned for more squad news and updates in the weeks to come as we continue to look forward to the upcoming season!
