Scorpions boost their international ranks with a Scotsman

The South Wales Scorpions could potentially have players in five different international squads at this year’s World Cup, after Scottish international Shae Lyon-Fraser signed a permanent deal from Wigan Warriors.

The 20-year-old centre/wing from Glasgow initially appeared for the club on the dual registration rule from Wigan last year, and after scoring tries in two consecutive friendlies between the clubs as part of their ongoing partnership, the Scorpions have brought him in permanently.

Coach Dave Clark said: “We’re delighted to have signed Shae for the 2013 season. I’m sure that he will be a fantastic asset to the side and I know that he is welcoming the potential to play first team rugby league throughout 2013.

“Shae’s signing means that we now have the potential to have players in five World Cup squads at the end of the year. James Tutuila is a Tongan international, Chris Vitalini has ambitions to play against Wales at the Millennium Stadium for Italy, Haydn Peacock has Irish grandparents and has declared his interests for the men in green, plus of course we have a number of Welsh international players.

“We’re now all looking forward to our first match of the season, against London Skolars at The Gnoll in Neath this Sunday (March 3).”
