Crusaders re-sign Wales World Cup pair

North Wales Crusaders have re-signed Wales World Cup pair Christiaan Roets and Rob Massam for 2014.

Roets joined the club ahead of the 2012 season from rivals South Wales Scorpions, while Massam has scored 37 tries in 42 appearances since stepping up from the amateur game.

Head Coach Clive Griffiths said: “We wanted to keep continuity within the side and re-signing these lads has shown that.

“They’re the heart and soul of the club and they’re important to us as we work towards next year.

“They’ve both been an important part of the squad for the last two years and they more than deserve the opportunity to step up to the next level.

“It’s great that they’ve been called up to the World Cup squad by Iestyn Harris – it reflects well on the club to have players playing at international level.

“The more they’re exposed to that level of rugby league the better they’ll become as players in the long run.”
