Following the departure of Simon Wray to Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, Keighley Cougars have confirmed the appointment of Nigel Bondsworth as the club’s physiotherapist.

Nigel who has his own physiotherapist practice comes from Bradford and he is the physiotherapist to the Jamaican Rugby League.

Cougars Head Coach Barry Eaton said: “We’d like to welcome Nigel aboard at Cougar park.

“When we knew that we were losing Simon we contacted the RFL for assistance and they put us in touch with Nigel.

“He’s had experience in rugby as well as other sports so he doesn’t need educating and he was he on Saturday night for the Carnegie Challenge Cup tie against Pia Donkeys so that he could study our methods and take over from Simon”.
