Launceston have signed winger Jon Marlin from Mounts Bay, their fourth recruit from the newly-promoted side.

The Durban-born back follows Darren and Jamie Semmens and Chris Morris to Polson Bridge.

Marlin scored 18 tries for the Bay as they won National Three South last season, a record which did not go unnoticed by Launceston's coaches.

"We've signed him as a gas man really, a finisher," said Launceston's joint head coach Jon Hill.

"We know his defence is very strong, he has a tremendous work ethic and his leadership qualities are there for all to see.

"In that respect, he fits right into our mould," Hill added.
