PLYMOUTH Albion have today officially announced the signing

of England Counties star Tom Jarvis.

The 23-year-old winger/full-back arrives at Albion from

National League Division Two side Stourbridge.

He has previously played for Lydney and has earned

representative honours for England Counties, England Students,

Great Britain Universities and Gloucestershire.

Jarvis, who started his career at Gloucester's Academy, has

just returned from a two-week tour to North America with the

England Counties squad.

He scored two tries in their final match against a Canada

Select XV last Friday.

Jarvis is the seventh arrival at Brickfields this summer

following in the footsteps of Ryan Hopkins, Wayne Sprangle,

James Tideswell, Geoff Griffith, Danny Thomas and Mark Lee.

Albion’s chairman of rugby Graham Dawe said:

for Lydney and we have kept tracks on him.

"He has had a good season with Stourbridge

and we hope he can further his career."
