BRAEHEAD CLAN'S Sam Zajac is the first of the crop to officially leave the club after signing for Telford Tigers.

There has been speculation regarding a number of stars at the Glasgow club, none more so than Joel Champagne.

But 24-year-old Zajac is the first to pledge his future elsewhere, joining up with his old team.

Tigers head coach Tom Watkins has been pursuing the Whitley Bay man for some time and said: "He will be a huge part of our defensive core and is a first-class guy."
