NEWS | Boas agrees new Dons deal

Watson Boas has committed his future to the Dons by agreeing a new three-year deal with the club.

Boas initially arrived at the Keepmoat Stadium in 2019 from Betfred Championship side Featherstone Rovers, and has since scored 10 tries in 25 appearances.

The 26-year-old is currently recovering from surgery on a knee injury, which has ruled him out for the rest of the 2021 campaign.

Chief executive Carl Hall says the owners of Club Doncaster deserve a lot of credit for tying down the Papua New Guinea half-back, in an uncertain time for the sport.

He said: “I can’t thank the owners enough for allowing us to secure Watson’s services for the next three years.

“They have shown a lot of faith in the player and recognised just how important he is to what we are trying to do at the club.

“Not only that, the board have agreed to fund the deal in a time where the structure of the sport is not yet secured and with a lot of meetings still to take place.

“We are looking forward to supporting Watson through his recovery and can’t wait to see him back on the field.”
