“Our seventh arrival” – Wasps confirm another signing despite financial concerns

Wasps have confirmed that Lock Cam Dodson has signed for the Club.

Dodson, who most recently played for Austin Gilgronis in Major League Rugby, linked up with the Club at the start of pre-season on a trial.

Men’s Head Coach Lee Blackett said; “Cam has shown great potential since he started training with us in June. 

“Whilst Cam initially joined us on trial at the start of pre-season, it was clear he is an impressive athlete and someone we wanted to keep in the environment.  

“We are delighted to welcome Cam to the squad and look forward to seeing him develop as a Wasps player.”

WASPS OTHER ARRIVALS:

#1. Vincent Koch from Saracens

Koch’s destructive scrummaging as part of South Africa’s ‘Bomb Squad’ saw him play a key role en route to them winning the William Webb Ellis trophy in 2019.

The 6ft 1in, 120kg forward, renowned for his great athletic ability, has made over 100 appearances for Saracens, helping them to win two European Champions Cups and two Premiership titles.

#2. Will Haydon-Wood from Newcastle Falcons

An England Under-20 international, Haydon-Wood made his Premiership debut against Exeter Chiefs in May 2021.

“We have been wanting to add another fly-half to the squad to complement Charlie Atkinson and Jacob Umaga,” said Wasps head coach Lee Blackett.

“He’s impressed since breaking through as a starter for Newcastle this season, which is why we’re delighted to have beaten other Premiership clubs to securing his signature for next season.”
