Jay is a stalwart of the club and is now entering his testimonial year at the club and has been top try scorer for 5 of those years.

He has always had an eye for the try line and hits a straight flat ball better than anyone in the team with his superb running lines. He is equally adept at both wing and full back.

One if Jays biggest qualities is his desire to put his body on the line and do whatever is required for the best if the team. After moving over to wing from full back he made the sacrifice with no fuss and completed the most lethal back line Crosby have had for years.

As Jays years are passing him by he is now working on his long term desire to join his brothers Adam and Gaz in the front row. The extra weight added to his speed in the meantime is making him more like a Bastereud esq powerhouse in the backline.

The RugbyLeague convert is also one of the most ferocious tacklers in the team taking on everyone except Jack who run straight at him, and always gets a hand on those going round.

Come down to Thirlmere Road this season and watch the smashing runs of Jay and cheer as he tries to break the club's all time try scoring record.
