HEYES EXTENDS CONTRACT FOR 2021

26 August 2020

Swinton Lions are delighted to announce that full-back Ben Heyes has agreed a new one-year deal with the club for the 2021 season

Full-back Ben Heyes has joins a long list of names to commit to another season with Swinton Lions.

The speedy 21-year old with huge potential joined the club from Thatto Heath last year, but in view of recent events his opportunities have been severely limited.

However, there’s no doubt that Ben will be looking to achieve a break-through into first team contention in 2021.

Ben Heyes said, “I’m delighted to once again sign with Swinton and hopefully to be soon getting back to playing rugby and competing again after the abrupt end to the season.

“The staff and the players have always been great to me during my time at the club, and I am once again looking forward to working with them and continuing to develop my career.”

“BEN IS AN EXCITING TALENT”

Lions’ Head Coach Stuart Littler added, “It’s great news to have agreed a deal to keep Ben on board with us in 2021. Ben is an exciting talent who really does have the potential to have a big impact on our team.

“He came to us from the successful Thatto Heath club having represented England at amateur level against the New Zealand test team.

“Ben has been on a bit of a learning curve with us as he transitions into the professional game, but what he does possess is natural pace and that cannot be manufactured.

“He’s gaining confidence in both his position and his standing within our environment. He continues to strive to become the best he can be and we fully intend to support him in achieving all of his aims and goals.”
