Hook snared by Bristol Shoguns

Bristol Shoguns have signed Wales Under-21 half-back Michael Hook from Newport.

Hook, who has represented his country at the last two Under-21 World Cups, has linked up again with former Black and Ambers coach Richard Hill at the Memorial Stadium.

Hook told www.bristolshoguns.co.uk: “I am joining up with Bristol Shoguns with aspirations to get back into the Premiership. I want to play as much as possible and play my part in the rebuilding of this great club.”
