Doncaster re-sign popular hooker

Doncaster have announced the re-signing of hooker Kieran Cross on a two-year deal.

The 24-year-old was limited to just eight appearances last season after suffering a broken ankle in May but is set to return in 2020.

Cross will enter his fifth season with the Dons and has become the latest player to commit his future to the club, following the likes of Brandan Wilkinson, Ryan Boyle, Brad England, Brandon Douglas and new signing Josh Rickett.

“I’ve been working hard on making sure I come back as strong as I possibly can,” he said. “With pre-season getting underway it gives me the perfect opportunity to get back to full fitness and put all the niggles behind me.

“After a frustrating year for myself last season I’m really looking forward to helping the boys push for promotion in 2020.”
