The scrum-half, who joined from Newcastle this summer, made his first appearance for the club off the bench in last Monday’s Aviva ‘A’ League trip to Worcester and has been handed the number nine shirt for the Wanderers’ first home league clash of the season.
Jamie Elliott and Tom Stephenson make their first starts since the Aviva ‘A’ League trip to Gloucester a month ago, with Ben Nutley and Tom Mercey also seeing action from the first whistle for the first time this season.
The Wanderers team will be captained by Phil Dowson, and need a win to stay in touch with the Northern Conference play-off positions.
Kick off at the Gardens this evening is at 7:30pm, and entry is FREE for Season Ticket Holders. All other supporters need to bring either £5 (adults) or £2 (juniors) cash with them, payable on the gate.
