Championship side Moseley have strengthened their options in their back-line with the signing of Canadian pair Justin Mensah-Coker and Bryn Keys.

Winger Mensah-Coker, 25, played for Plymouth Albion last season and has won 14 international caps.

Keys is a 23-year-old centre who plays for Velox and Aurora in his homeland and faced Scotland in November.

The new arrivals will help compensate for the loss of former Gloucester loanees Dan Norton and Jack Adams.

Both players have joined Moseley's Championship rivals Bristol after playing a major role in the club's Twickenham success over Leeds Carnegie in the National Trophy final.

Justin was outstanding against us in April, we have good reports from Canada about Bryn

"These two players of international experience will help us to achieve our objective of adding value to the existing squad for the Championship," said Moseley coach Ian Smith.

"Justin was outstanding when playing for Plymouth against us in April and we have had good reports from Canada about Bryn."

Smith also confirmed that the Billesley Common club hope to continue to profit from their dual registration agreement with Premiership big boys Gloucester.

Norton and Adams both turned out for Moseley as part of that deal, along with Tristan Roberts, Henry Trinder and Dan Williams.
