COUGARS have snapped up former Wakefield utility player Scott Lee.

Lee joins the Cougars following a spell with Albi in the French Elite Championship.

The 20-year-old is a product of the Wakefield academy and can play in either the halves or at hooker.

The acquisition of Lee ahead of Sunday’s visit of Swinton in the iPro Sport Cup is a major boost to Cougars with David March currently nursing a hamstring injury.
