Crusaders target another rugby union player in Clinton Schifcofske

Gareth Thomas may not be the only ageing convert from rugby union making his debut for the Crusaders in their game against the Catalans Dragons on Friday night. The Welsh club are also hoping to complete a deal for Clinton Schifcofske, a 34-year-old goalkicking full-back who made two State of Origin appearances before switching codes, first with Queensland and more recently with Ulster in the Magners League.

"We have been talking with his agent for a while but he is quite sought after," said Paul Retout, the Crusaders chief executive. "If we can do a deal he would come here quickly, and he could play on Friday. It's becoming a bit of a trend for us, signing players from rugby union."

The Crusaders coach, Brian Noble, recruited Michael Witt and Vince Mellars from Super 14 franchises in New Zealand before the start of the season and has also been linked with the Wales back-rower Andy Powell, who now shares an agent with Thomas.

Retout is confident that Thomas's first appearance since his move north from Cardiff will at least double the 3,000 crowd the Crusaders had been expecting for the visit of the Catalans, who are thought to have made a late bid for Schifcofske following the loss of their Australian full‑back Clint Greenshields for at least three months with a broken leg. Australian reports claim that the Crusaders have also signed Jarrod Sammut, a 23-year-old utility player from the Penrith Panthers. Link
