Harlock leaves Blues for Titans
Rugby round-up
Policeman John Harlock has left Goldington Road and signed for Bedford's Championship rival Rotherham Titans.
The 29-year-old lock will join his new team-mates in July for pre-season training.
Harlock found himself down the pecking order in the Blues's second row following the arrival of Sean Tomes from Exeter Chiefs.
He said: "One of the main reasons I took up the offer from Rotherham was the chance to work with Andre Bester
"I have heard a lot about him from other players and they all had great things to say.
"He's known for being able to help players be the best they can so I'm looking forward to working with him.
"I have a previous connection with Rotherham from when I came down a couple of years ago for pre-season, but the travelling was too much at the time so I didn't stay.
"I'm in a position now where I can combine the two jobs but rugby is my number one priority."
>> England complete clean sweep
England Counites completed a clean sweep of victory on their Canada tour after beating British Columbia Bears 46-7.
Manager Danny Hodgson insisted that he was the happiest man in Canada after his team completed a hat trick of tour wins in which former Bedford Modern School pupil Henry Staff and Harry Spencer (Saracens/Bedford) were integral.
Staff, the youngest man on the team, powered over twice against the Bears and Hodgson hailed his team's performance.
He said: "The lads were magnificent and I'm over the moon. To see all the team getting round the field working and grafting like they did was tremendous. There was also skill that was absolutely breath-taking."
