Scottish tight-head prop Steven Longwell and Zebre Parma go their seperate ways

Parma, 3 November 2023 – “Contrary to my plans, I have decided to remain in the United Kingdom to remain close to my family following a health problem which, unfortunately, affected a close family member. Moving to Italy would make my support less present and the management of this difficulty more complicated. I appreciate and thank the Zebras for everything they did to facilitate me. I wish the club all the best for the season."

With these words, Steven Longwell expresses the reasons for his contractual termination with Zebre. The Scottish no. 3, who signed a three-month contract with the ducal franchise last October, will therefore not be part of the North West XV squad.

The Zebre confirm that they have accepted the athlete's request, to whom they send their best wishes for closeness and solidarity.
