Reiss Cullen joins Doncaster Knights from Bristol Bears

Doncaster have added Reiss Cullen for the 2019/20 season after the scrum-half signed a two-year-deal.

The 22-year-old joins from Bristol Bears, where he made 10 appearances, three coming in the British & Irish Cup and scored two tries during his time at Ashton Gate. 

Reiss also featured for Cardiff Blues and Cornish Pirates in the 2017/18 season after signing from Scottish semi-professional side Watsonians at the start of the campaign.

The scrum-half arrived at Bristol from Watsonians and was a big part of the first team in Edinburgh during his three years there. He helped the club regain promotion to the top flight in 2015/16 and played in every match in 2016/17 as the team stayed up in the Scottish Premiership.

“The Knights play a brand of rugby that suits my playing style and I think I can learn a lot from the coaches and players at the club," said Reiss.

"It will be a good challenge for myself in a different environment and will be good for my personal development.

"I have been at Bristol for the last two years and haven’t had the consistent game time, I am looking for regular playing time and to test myself in the Championship. I am hoping the club can push up the table for a top three spot as there is more than enough talent to do so.”
