Stephenson returns for Leeds Carnegie

4:17pm Friday 10th February 2012 in Sport By Sports Desk

Full back Michael Stephenson will return to action on Sunday as Leeds Carnegie head to Nottingham for a re-arranged Championship fixture (3pm).

Stephenson missed the recent win over Bedford after picking up an injury at Plymouth Albion the previous week.

He replaces Tommy Bell at full back, with the youngster away with the England under-20 squad this week.

Jordan Davies returns to the centres and he will take over kicking duties from Bell, while former Otley loanee Joe Barker starts at fly half.

In the pack, Sam Lockwood comes in for Gareth Denman and Richard Beck starts in the back row for Chris Walker, who will skipper England under-20s in Italy tonight.

On the bench, new signings Halani Aulika and Ed Williamson are set to make their debuts for the club as replacements.
