Jacob Morgan

[fredm]

He is named in the 19 man squad for Sunday's match on the Official website.  As this is a completely new name (I believe) surely some detail about him could be added?  Don't we want to keep supporters interested?

[BatleyFanAndy]

He was with us pre season.

[RogerT]

I agree unless he was one of the trialist  we had earlier pre season.

 

At least something is happening.

[RogerT]

Whoops BatleyFanAndy beat me to it.

[Piggy's mate]

Was he the lad in the bright orange boots? He was quick if my memory serves me correctly

[BISSA...]

Not sure, think that may have been Jordan Anderson from Cas. Very nippy.

[BISSA...]

Sorry its Colinb, was still logged in as BISSA.

[fredm]

So who is he? What's his background? Has he signed permanently?

[Chairman LMAO]

I believe he is on loan, Fred.

[Dolmio Babcock]

On loan from whom, thought he is a free agent.

[Keep The Faith]

Signed

[Batley Bob]

So who is he? What's his background? Has he signed permanently?

A promising full-back, Jacob started his Rugby League at Cardiff Demons before signing for the old Crusaders Academy. He played once for the South Wales Scorpions first team in 2012 before joining Leeds Rhinos under 19,s , when he went to Leeds Met Uni. A Wales under 18 international , joined Batley in Nov 2014 on trial , signed before Fev game , plays Full back / wing

[BatleyFanAndy]

Hopefully we've signed a gem along the same lines as one they call Walmsley.

[marko9]

He played for Warwick Cowboys in Aus for 2014,been playing for England and Yorkshire Students this year

[fredm]

Thanks for all the information, I am sure the Dogs supporters will, generally, have been interested in this.  I hope Jacob has a good and successful career at Batley.

[Bulldog Days]

He has a quality Welsh heritage to live up to at Batley! Dai Fitzgerald (Cardiff & Wales RU, 3 Challenge Cup winning medals with Batley), Ike Fowler, Harry Rees, Brinley Williams, Fred Willis, and Will Davies ( all Welsh RL internationals.)

Good luck with your career at Batley Bulldogs Jacob.

I know he started playing in Wales but is he not English if he's playing for England?

[Lone Drinker]

He's played for England Students for which I think you qualify by being a student in England. I might be wrong.

 

Like Ryan Giggs playing for England Schoolboys.

That'd make sense.

[Will cordwell]

Good luck to the lad

[BatleyFanAndy]

Looked very handy. He'll do for me at fullback.

[Will cordwell]

Great did he link up well with the five eighths it's a must for full backs these days

[Parks75]

That'd make sense.

His grandfather from Yorkshire

[BatleyFanAndy]

He made some good moves coming into the line.

[Parks75]

Looked very handy. He'll do for me at fullback.

So how was the new fullback scored a try I heard jacob morgan
