Wasps sign former Exeter winger Luke Mehson after trial

Wasps have announced the signing of winger Luke Mehson following a successful trial period.

Having appeared for Exeter in the Premiership Rugby 7s and in the Premiership Shield, the 21-year-old made his Premiership debut against Saracens in September.

Mehson has been training with Wasps this season and head coach Lee Blackett was impressed by his potential.

“We believe that he will really add to our exciting group of back three players at the club," he told the club's official website.

“We are all looking forward to working further with Luke and helping him reach his potential in a Black and Gold shirt.”

Mehson is delighted in extending his stay at Wasps and is looking to propel his career with the Ricoh Arena based club.

“I’ve really enjoyed my time at the Club so far and I am excited to see what the future holds for me at Wasps.

“I am confident that Wasps’ exciting brand of rugby will help me reach my full potential.”

Wasps are positioned eighth in the Gallagher Premiership table with eight wins from 19 games.
