Earle and Myhill join Nick Williams, Matthew Morgan, Rhys Gill, Steve Shingler and Willis Halaholo as confirmed new signings for next season.

"George is a hard-nosed second row forward who is uncompromising and brings real physicality to any team he plays for, [while] Kirby is a talented player of huge potential who I feel can really develop with us,” Wilson said.

He added: "They are both good professionals who will add not only to the squad we are building here but also the environment and culture."

These signings really enhance the pack power ahead of next season.
