11/04/08 From Ravens to Quins RL Academy!

Gary Sargeant has been offered a Harlequins RL Academy contract for this season. This is great news for Gary and for the Kent Ravens as a club.

Gary was obviously pleased with the offer and took the opportunity to thank the people that had made all this possible including, Ed Easter and Adrian Suter for all their guidance and support, the Ravens for giving me the opportunity to play rugby league, and my mum for all the travelling.

I wish the Ravens the best of luck for the season, and hopefully this is going to be the start of things to come and one day, hopefully will lead to me becoming a Super League 13 player.”

Phil Jones, Player Performance Manager at Harlequins RL also commented, “Gary has worked really hard during pre season and has been rewarded with a Reserve/Academy Terms and Conditions Registration (RATC) which means that we expect him to regularly be in the 17 man squad on a match day.

It is a great reflection on his dedication with him being very new to the game compared to a lot of the other boys involved. It also shows the good work that Kent Ravens are doing that they have produced a player capable of playing in the Gillette Champions Academy and I am sure he will be the first of many.”


The contract that Gary Sargeant has signed pays appearance money and a win bonus, and runs from 1st April until 30th September.
