Doncaster confirm 20 leavers, including Chile skipper Martin Sigren
By Liam Heagney
Mid-table Championship club Doncaster have confirmed the exit of 20 players following the end of the 2022/23 season, including Martin Sigren, the captain of Chile who will play England at the Rugby World Cup in September.
The South American back-rower spoke to RugbyPass last November about the upcoming finals and about his first season in the English second-tier, but his stay at the Knights has now ended following their sixth-place finish.
A statement read: “Doncaster Knights can confirm that 20 players will leave the club now that the 2022/23 season has drawn to a close.
“In the forward pack, the departures will include Jake Armstrong, Bobby Bratton, Jared Cardew, Sam Daly, George Edgson, Will Holling, Sam Hudson, John Kelly, Kai Owen, Jake Pope, Martin Sigren, Thom Smith, Theo Vukasinovic, and James Wayland. In the backline, the departures will include Joe Green, Alec Lloyd-Seed, Robbie Smith, Jack Spittle, Fraser Strachan and Will Yarnell.”
Head coach Steve Boden said: “A massive thank you from myself, the club and the supporters for the hard work and the commitment you all put in throughout the 2022/23 season.
"It wasn’t an easy season to navigate through and testament to all the players, we stuck in there together to make something of it all. I wish everybody all the best in the future – you are massively welcome, and hopefully we do see you back at Castle Park for a beer at some time in the future.”
Sigren made 24 appearances as a Knight in the Championship league and cup competitions and he wasn’t alone in spending just one season at the club. Ex-Bristol tighthead Armstrong, ex-Worcester loosehead Owen and ex-Wasps lock Vukasinovic were also 2022/23 newcomers at the club.
Another eye-catching exit is that of Thom Smith, the ex-Leicester back-rower who became Tigers’ youngest captain in a league game when he led a Steve Borthwick-coached side in an August 2020 game against Gloucester.

Go to commentsMzil, I only recently learned Hodgman was only 31 myself, so you’re certainly not alone there!
Canham is a good shout, and he’s coming along nicely in new colours - as is Darcy Swain for that matter.
Whether Gleeson and Hooper feature this year, without a return date confirmed (despite best intentions) remains to be seen. Different to Ikitau, in that we know he’ll return after the Exeter stint and for how long.
And Tizzano will certainly be there. I didn’t need to include him here, but he’s just no longer a fringe player!
