Luke Crane has left Newport RFC and will return to playing for Bedwas.
Luke has had five very successful seasons and been a part of everything good we have achieved in recent times.
In 84 games Luke scored 10 tries but he will be most remembered for his sniping runs and quick service from the base of a scrum or ruck.
Newport team manager Stuart Lawrence was gushing with praise for ‘Craney’ when he talked to the large crowd at the Newport end of season dinner last Saturday. Stu thought that Luke had been the outstanding number 9 in the league at times and that he would be very sad to see Luke leave.
A very humble guy who is extremely popular within the squad, Luke will be missed by us all. Good luck in the future fella!
