R League: Cologni in for debut

NEW boy Aurelien Cologni is poised to make his debut as Celtic Crusaders begin a run of four successive away matches at Swinton Lions today (3pm).

The French international completed his move from Lezignan this week to bolster the third-placed Crusaders’ bid for top spot in National League Two.

Coach John Dixon has an almost fully-fit squad with just Welsh international Anthony Blackwood (hamstring) ruled out with Josh Cale and Chris Beasley back from minor knocks.

Crusaders (from): T Duggan, G Epton, R Toshack, M Dalle Cort, P Ballard, D Quinn, J Van Dijk, J Cale, N Budworth, G Dean, D Mapp, N Wyatt, T Martin, H Davies, J I’Anson, D Fitzgerald, R Johnston, L Young, G Davies, J Cale, C Beasley, P Cushion, A Cologni
