MALTON and Norton flanker James Peckitt has continued his development after being named in the Yorkshire Under-19s squad for their two fixtures.

The White Rose side take on Red Rose rivals Lancashire on Sunday at Bramley Phoenix Park, while they travel down to face the North Midlands at Dudley the following week.

Eighteen-year-old Peckitt, who represented England U18s and toured the southern hemisphere with the Yorkshire Terriers U18s alongside former York flanker Matthew Stockdale last season, will start on the bench for the first clash and should start against the North Midlands.

Peckitt (pictured left) is currently training with London Wasps as he is studying at university in the area.
