London Skolars are pleased to announce that Michael Bishay has re-signed with the club ahead of the 2019 season. The 25-year-old, who joined the team in 2015, will now join up with his teammates for pre-season training.

Jermaine Coleman, London Skolars Head Coach, commented:

“We are really happy that Michael has signed again. He will bring some real quality and experience to the team. Towards the back end of the season, after his injury, he really started to find his stride again and performed to a high level. He’s got an excellent kicking and organization game and we’re really looking forward to having him back in the team.”

Bishay began his career with cross-city club London Broncos, where he made 19 appearances. He then spent time with Hemel Stags followed by a short stint at New River Stadium with Skolars. The hooker, who can also play scrum half, joined the team permanently in 2015 and has so far played in 54 matches for the club, scoring 20 tries. He said:

“I’m looking forward to another season with the boys. Hopefully we can have a much better year than last year and I believe we can if everyone is willing to put the hard work in. Jermaine can lead us in the right direction and the senior players can help him out with that.”
