Guy Williams is the most capped player with 216 appearances.

He said he grew up idolising many of the Capras’ players and it was his dream to wear the jersey.

“That’s what I wanted to do - play for the Comets, as they were at the time,” he said.

“To get the opportunity to do that was something really special for me,

“To represent my home region was something I really cherished.

“It shows how much I value the club and just how much it means to me that I spent such a long time there.

“It’s really special; 550 games is a huge milestone and it shows that the club has a very long history and things are certainly moving in the right direction for them and they have a prosperous future.”

Seven other players - Heath Egglestone, Mick Esdale, Tyron Haynes, Gavin Hiscox, Ian Webster, Graham White and Dallas Williams - clocked up more than 100 games.

The longest-serving player in the current squad is Reece Baker (96 games) followed by skipper Jack Madden (87 games).
