RUGBY Borough have revealed a couple of new signings with several key players also retained for the 2026/27 campaign.

Borough have signed defender Patrick Zito and midfielder Corey Armeni with the pair to bolster Dave Stringer’s squad next season.

Centre-back Zito previously played for Coventry Sphinx and Quorn while Armeni featured for Anstey Nomads and Aylestone Park.

Stringer said: “We’re delighted to have Patrick with us.

“He’s a big, strong powerful centre half and he will be an excellent acquisition for the club.

“Lots of clubs wanted Corey.




“We’re delighted to have attracted him to Boro, and we’ve got ourselves a fantastic player.”

Meanwhile, last season’s top scorer Tyrell Waite has agreed to remain with Borough next season.


Waite topped the club’s goalscoring charts last term despite joining the club midway through the campaign.

Captain Ellis Myles and players’ and supporters’ player of the year Luke Rowe will also return to Kilsby Lane next season.

Goalkeeper Marcus Bald will also remain with Borough next season after joining the club last term from rivals Rugby Town.

Another mid-season signing, Gary Stohrer, has also agreed terms with Borough next season along with Cam Collins.
