TALENTED Josh Bainbridge hopes his 50th appearance for Yorkshire Carnegie will be the first of many milestones with the club.

The openside flanker lines up against the Dragons Premiership Select side in today’s British & Irish Cup tie near Caerphilly in Glamorgan.

It has taken Bainbridge a while to rack up his half-ton, this being his fourth season having debuted as an 18-year-old against Doncaster in 2014.

“I’ve had my ups and downs along the way,” said the ex-England Under-20s international.

“There’s been some injuries and things but just to get to 50 itself is a pretty good achievement.

“It is my first milestone reached with Carnegie and hopefully there’ll be plenty more to come here.”

Fans will certainly hope that rings true as plenty of Bainbridge’s peers, like Jack Walker, Paul Hill and Lewis Boyce, have instead left to make the move up to the Premiership.
