WOOD BACK FOR ACADEMY

EDINBURGH have recalled Dayle Wood for a second season in their WSRA National Development League line-up.

The Monarchs Academy are hoping Wood can take advantage of the experience he picked up in his debut UK campaign in 2023 which saw him also gain outings for their senior side in the Cab Direct Championship.

Team manager Scott Wilson said: “I’m extremely pleased to have Dayle back with the Academy for 2024. He was a pleasure to work with last year and the improvement in him from April to September was clear to see.

“He and I have spoken about him taking on more responsibility and leadership this year, which is something he is keen to embrace.

“It’s a big year for Dayle, and if the team is going to be successful we will need him to perform at a heat-leader level.

“He must do this to achieve his own goals and ambitions too, so he will be determined to be a big points scorer for us this season.”
