Northern Knights Head Coach Simon Johnston and NCU Development Officer Callum Atkinson will lead a 'warm-weather' training camp for seven of the NCU's up and coming young players at La Manga over this weekend.



Making the trip to Murcia are the Carrick trio, Jack Burton, Matty McCord and Harry Warke, the Instonians pair, Matthew Humphreys and Ben Rose along with the CSNI duo Matthew Foster and Morgan Topping.



This seven have been 'at home' this winter while the five other Academy members have been furthering their game in the southern hemisphere in preparation for the 2019 domestic season.



Simon Johnston says, 'The players have all broken into their respective club first elevens over the last couple of years and it is important that we harness the ability that they have along with their desire to improve and seek selection for the Emerging Knights this season. It will be brilliant to be able to dedicate five outdoor sessions at this stage of the year, at the wonderful facility in La Manga.'



An expanded programme is planned for the Emerging Knights in the coming season with multi-format fixtures against the North West and Munster in addition to the 'regular' games versus the Lightning Bolts.
