Birmingham Moseley have been boosted by the news that club favourite Jacques Le Roux will be pulling on the red and black again after leaving the club in January 2020 to move to South Africa for work commitments.

The Portuguese international made 81 appearances for the club over four seasons.

Known for his trademark powerful ball carrying, Le Roux (pictured) departed for South Africa but was told the door would always be open for him to return.

Joining him in the back row will be Liam Munro from Broadstreet, who brings with him considerable experience of high level rugby having played for Coventry in the Championship, Stourbridge and Rugby Lions.

He has also represented Warwickshire on many occasions including packing down in the back row alongside new signing Sam McNulty at Twickenham for the Bill Beaumont County Championship Division 2 Final.

Second row Rob Fuller also joins on a permanent basis.

He was initially meant to sign on a season long loan from Hartpury for 2020-21 but the season never took place due to the pandemic.

Scotland U20 international Harry Butler also makes the move from Hartpury to Billesley Common.

The 21-year-old second row moved to Gloucester Academy from London Irish and subsequently gained Premiership Cup experience there before playing for Hartpury in the Championship, where he studied Sports Business Management.

At 6 ' 6 ” and nearing 18 stone he will add another physical presence to the pack.
