Islander James Voss confirms his return to Jersey RFC squad

Lock forward James Voss has confirmed he will rejoin his home club ahead of the 2016/17 season.

Voss, 21, made his debut for Jersey as a 17-year-old in National One back in 2011/12 and subsequently made around 30 appearances during the club's first two seasons in the Greene King IPA Championship.

He left the club to play for Hartpury College's National One side where he was also studying for a Foundation degree in Business Management. He will be back with the island side in time for pre-season training.

Head Coach Harvey Biljon is pleased to have lined up another member of his squad for next season.

This Saturday Voss and another graduate of the JRFC junior section, Harry Cochrane, will be seeking to help Hartpury confirm the runners-up spot in National One by taking maximum points in their final game of the season, at home to Hull Ionians.

Voss joins five other new signings previously announced by the Reds. Prop Mark Tampin, back row forward Max Argyle and centre Jordan Davies are moving to the Island from Rotherham Titans; centre George Eastwell, currently at Loughborough Students, has also agreed terms with Jersey, as has prop Jake Armstrong, who will be leaving Doncaster Knights following the Championship play-offs to move south.

Further signings are expected to be confirmed in the coming weeks.
