Philippines international Judd Greenhalgh has signed a new one-year contract with London Skolars.

The 24-year-old joins a long-list of players to have signed on with the Skolars for the 2019 campaign at the New River Stadium.

Greenhalgh has been with the Skolars for over half a decade and is back fully fit ahead of 2019 following a series of injuries.

On committing to the capital club, Greenhalgh said: “Jermaine [Coleman] has recognised myself as a senior player now and I feel it’s the right time to step up and play a big role in the team on and off the pitch.

“After a couple of injuries, it was good to be back amongst it all last season, so I’m really excited to get stuck in and work hard with the boys this year.”

Skolars’ boss Jermaine Coleman commented: “After nearly two years out, Judd returned at the back end of last season and showed just what he has to offer.

“He is aggressive but has the ball skills to match. With a full pre-season and an injury-free run, he will be like a brand-new signing.”
