JENKINS JOINS WITCHES

IPSWICH have moved to sign fast-improving British youngster Jordan Jenkins who becomes the second new face in their 2024 line-up.

Jenkins had an impressive season in the Rising Star berth for Peterborough in the Sports Insure Premiership and has now progressed out of that scheme as he heads to Foxhall.

He said: “It is one of those moves you always want to happen, but you are not sure if it will because Ipswich is such a good team and what happened there this year was pretty cool.

“I was straight on the phone to Ritchie (Hawkins) and Chris (Louis) as soon as the season finished really asking for a team spot and saying I was interested.

“I was uncertain at times with my Rising Star average going up and not being a Rising Star anymore.

“That is a big ask for someone to have faith in me and put me into a No.6 position, but I feel like I am going in the right direction and clearly Chris and Ritchie feel that way as well and I’m over the moon about it.”
