George McGuigan
McGuigan, 18, who hails from Richmond, North Yorkshire caught the eye of club bosses following a string of impressive performances in the 2010-11 season.
The talented No. 2 played for North of England last term before crossing the pond to turn out for Irish under-18 clubs through the Irish Exiles route.
While registered with Mowden Park RFC, McGuigan made a cameo appearance for Newcastle 'A' at Worcester back in April.
Academy coach Mark Laycock has kept a close eye on the former Darlington RFC junior, who went on to represent Durham County at every age group.
