DUDLEY Kingswinford director of rugby Neil Shillingford has strengthened his squad by bringing Jordan Brookes back to Heathbrook.

Brookes is moving back to the area to pursue business opportunities and will turn out for DK for the 2017/18 campaign.

He played his youth rugby at DK before joining Macclesfield in National Two North, where he built up a wealth of experience which Shillingford hopes will help the club mount a promotion charge next season.
