BANDITS BRING IN JEPPESEN

BERWICK have completed the signing of Danish star Jonas Jeppesen who goes straight into their side for this weekend’s Cab Direct Championship clashes with Glasgow.

Jeppesen, who has returned to the top-flight this season for Birmingham, has joined the Bandits as a replacement for skipper Danyon Hume who will miss the remainder of the campaign having suffered two fractured vertebrae.

Manager Stewart Dickson said: “Once the extent of Danyon’s injuries became clear it was important to get a dynamic replacement for him, using all the room available to us within the 40-point limit.

“Jonas is a great signing and I would like to put on record my thanks to (club owner) Jamie Courtney and the promotion at Berwick for backing me personally and for getting this signing over the line.”
