BLACK SIGNS ON DOTTED LINE FOR 2013

The Bulldogs have commenced their recruitment for next season by announcing that scrum-half Ben Black will be remaining at the club in 2013.

Black, 30, who arrived from Halifax last season has been a revelation alongside Gareth Moore this term, and the Bulldogs are delighted to confirm his signature in the face of stiff competition from other clubs.  Chief Executive Paul Harrison commented, "The signing of Ben was an integral piece of the jigsaw and we are absolutely delighted that he has decided to stay on at the Mount next year and his commitment to what we are trying to build at Mount Pleasant is particularly pleasing."
