His second season he was in equally impressive form, with only injuries preventing him from being an ever present. He made his presence known whenever on the field and was a great addition to the team. At the end of the season he earned reward for his performances being named Players’ Player of the Season for the 2012–13 season, earning a place in the RFU Championship 'Dream Team' and signing a new contract with the club.
