Wolves squad to turn out in pink

Skouson Harker
Harker's Wolves squad are still looking for their first win of the season

Worcester Wolves will wear pink kits for Saturday's home match against Newcastle Eagles to help raise money for a breast cancer charity.

Head coach Skouson Harker told BBC Hereford and Worcester his players are looking forward to the brief change.

"It might be a little odd for the first minute or two but hopefully we'll get used to it," he said.

The struggling Wolves face a difficult two days as they take on the league's top two teams - Everton and the Eagles.

On Friday, Wolves face Everton Tigers away and then they will play Newcastle in the charity game on Saturday.

Harker says it has been hard for the players to settle down because of the recent personnel changes with Anthony Paez and Vidantis Uzkuaritis coming in and Tommy Johnson and Ben Potts both leaving.

"We haven't really had a settling period with the squad," he admitted.

He also thinks he needs to have greater confidence in using his players on the bench more effectively.

"I haven't been using subs enough but that comes down to what happens in training and my level of comfort with certain players," he said.
