Hunslet RLFC are delighted to announce the signing of experienced half-back Lee Gaskell until the end of the 2025 season.
Gaskell, 34, who can play in the halves, full-back or centre, has enjoyed a fine career at the top of the sport, making over 190 appearances in Super League. He broke into the St Helens team in 2010 and featured in a Grand Final barely a year later, playing in their defeat to Leeds Rhinos.
He later joined the Bradford Bulls before signing with Huddersfield Giants in 2017, spending five years with the West Yorkshire club before then moving to Wakefield Trinity.
He returned to Bradford in 2023 and played a key part as the Bulls reached the Championship play-off semi-final against Toulouse in 2024.
With long-term injuries to a number of key players, Dean Muir was delighted to capture Gaskell: โTo sign someone with Leeโs experience and quality is great for our group. Lee will add leadership and direction on the field.
“He sets good standards at training and has a wealth of experience at the highest level, having played in Super League and the Championship. I am excited to start working with him.โ
Lee commented: “I had a number of offers and opportunities during the off-season, but nothing that grabbed my attention. When Dean got in touch last week, it just felt right to take up this opportunity.
“It’s an exciting time to be at Hunslet. I cant wait to get back playing. I’m looking forward to the challenge ahead, and helping Hunslet move up the Championship table.”
Lee will link up with the squad next week with Dean Muir hoping to get him out on the playing field over the next couple of weeks as he builds up his match fitness.
