Clifton have secured the signings of former Hartpury Hooker Luke Stratford & Second-Row Joe Quinn as they continue to build their squad in preparation for the new season.

Hooker Stratford joins having had spells at Jersey Reds and has won the BUCS Championship with Hartpury as well as being a key player in their Championship side for the past two seasons. He is highly regarded and will add even greater depth to the front row, alongside last season's Player of The Year, Jack Williams and Beno Edwards.

Quinn re-signs for Clifton having moved to the Gillman's Ground in 2017 having previously been 1st XV Captain at Clifton following a spell at Nottingham and brings a huge wealth of knowledge and Championship experience to the Clifton pack. Quinn will also take a lead role in running and coaching Clifton's lineout for the forthcoming season as he combines playing with being part of the coaching set up at Station Road.

"Quinny and Strats bring a massive amount to us, both on and off the pitch. They are both highly experienced and capable players who will add real quality to our pack and the squad as a whole. To acquire two quality players of their calibre is a statement of our intentions this season and they have already integrated well during pre-season."
Mike Barber, Assistant Coach

Clifton continue their pre-season schedule when they host Hartpury on Thursday 22nd August, 19:00 Kick Off.
