British Army rugby union star Lance Corporal Semesa Rokoduguni has signed a one-year deal to stay with Championship side Doncaster Knights.

The former England international, who made his Test debut against New Zealand in 2014, scored three tries in 12 appearances for the Knights last season.

LCpl Rokoduguni, who serves with the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, will turn 39 on the eve of the Championship season but is not ready to hang up his boots just yet.

Doncaster Knight's Director of Rugby, Sir Ian McGeechan, told the club's media: "We are delighted to have him another year, his contribution in training as well as his impact in games adds so much value to the squad. A great role model."

Just like last season, the Army powerhouse will line up alongside Royal Navy player Josh Williams for the Knights.

Doncaster also recently announced they will play host to a triple-header of UK Armed Forces rugby action on 4 July.

The men's, women's and under-23s teams will all be in action in support of the Military vs Cancer charity.
