McLeod and Rudge commit to Bourns

Front-row forwards Clarkson McLeod and Scott Rudge have re-signed with Bournville for the 2025/26 season.

McLeod has just completed his second season at Avery Field following his move from Stourbridge via Old Halesonians while Rudge impressed in the second half of the season after he rejoined after a brief stint with Stourbridge.

Both have the ability to play across the front-row with their versatility making them key members of the squad that will prepare for the season under the new coaching team headed by Alex Grove.

“Clarkson had a strong season for us. His fitness around the park and ability to play across the front-row is a real asset to the team,” said Head Coach Grove.

“Scott rejoined us halfway through the season from Stourbridge and made a real impact.

“His performances away at Old Redcliffians and at home to Luctonians really stood out.”

McLeod and Rudge join lock Ben Meakin in committing to Bourns for next season in Regional One Midlands.
