Another player signing back on for the forthcoming season is Rory Gaffney!

Rory joined the club during 2024/25, bringing with him National 2 experience, with the scrum half becoming one of the vital pieces of the jigsaw within the OPs setup.

He serves as both vice-captain and as a member of the coaching staff for 2026/27.

We're excited for what's ahead!
