Centre Fred Burdon will make his first Greene King IPA Championship appearance for Yorkshire Carnegie since the second leg of the play-off defeat to London Welsh two years ago when Bryan Redpath's side host promotion rivals Bedford Blues tomorrow (4pm).

Burdon returned to action a fortnight ago in the British & Irish Cup quarter final win over Moseley, having torn both Achilles tendons in the last 18 months.

He is joined in the centres by Pete Lucock, with Tom Casson and Andy Forsyth both ruled out through injury.

Mike Myerscough comes in for Dean Schofield in the second row for his first appearance since suffering appendicitis last month.

Former Otley and Wharfedale loanee Richard Beck is back in the back row after missing last week's game through illness.

Yorkshire Carnegie are also currently without Seb Stegmann (quad), North Ribblesdale product Jack Walker (ankle), former Otley and Wharfedale loanee Christian Georgiou (shoulder) and ex-Prince Henry's Grammar School pupil Josh Bainbridge (foot).
