Barbarians have managed to secure the signing of former GB international and Norton Cyclones forward Tom Wilson.
After a number of years away due to work commitments Tom has finally decided to make a come back. Having trained with the team and knowing a few ex Norton players on the roster, he felt he could add something to an already strong Barbarians which have reached the semi final of the nationals in two of the last three seasons.
He will be away for a big part of the season again due to work commitments however will lace up this weekend to make his Barbarians debut.
Speaking last night after training. Tom said that he was looking forward to the new challenge but is disappointed that he will miss a few games.
Coach Ed Coote has been looking to sign long time friend Tom for a number of years and was over the the moon when he agreed. Eddie said, Tom has a vast amount of experience at the top level, he may have been away but since his return you can see he still has the magic.
