Rugby head coach Rob Jones says recruitment for MMU\u2019s Sports Scholarships has strengthened his playing squad significantly – with some students turning down professional contracts to represent the university.<\/p>\n

There are 18 rugby scholars for the new academic year – 14 men and four women \u2013 and although competitive games are ruled out until a Covid all-clear, Rob is delighted with the results of a summer spent spotting talent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese students are top of their game for their age, and they understand what we\u2019re trying to do in terms of building a sporting profile for the university and developing pathways though Man Met into the professional game,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur developing partnership with Sale Sharks and their Director of Rugby Steve Diamond is a big attraction. They\u2019re a Premiership club with some of the best names in the sport in their ranks and sports students coming to Manchester recognise the quality of our coaching staff and facilities and also the opportunities we can offer through our networks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re really moving in the right direction now. For us, these students represent big wins. We\u2019re delighted they\u2019ve chosen to come and play for and study at Man Met.<\/p>\n

One player Rob is particularly pleased to see pulling on MMU\u2019s blue and orange strip is Jordan Lombard, who will come to Manchester from the top-rated Stellenbosch Academy in South Africa as a foundation year student working towards a BA (Hons) in Business Management.<\/p>\n
