Bideford centre Josh King is on the way back after nearly two years out of the game.
Bideford’s Josh King made his presence felt with some strong carries. against South Molton 2nds.
King was a 1st XV regular before sustaining a shoulder injury and was just getting back into the swing of things when he contracted pneumonia.
It has been a long road back to the rugby pitch, but King is now on the way.
“As I have not trained or played since having pneumonia last February, the fitness is a little scratchy,” said King. “I have started back by playing laying a little bit for Bideford 2nd XV.
“Right now, I am just easing back with the aim of getting back in the first team during the season.”
