One of last season’s most impressive loan players, Ethan Wood, has committed to Hunslet for the 2025 Season.
The 19-year-old former Wakefield Trinity man showed his quality towards the end of the season helping the Club to promotion through the play-offs.
Normally playing in the second row, Wood had to cover for an injured Jude Ferreira in the Promotion Play-off game at Swinton and looked just as comfortable in the centre, bringing in big defence for the Parksiders.
“Ethan just got better for us week by week.” said Head Coach Dean Muir “We had Ethan on loan and towards the end of the season in the playoffs he was outstanding, especially in the Grand Final win over Keighley.
“He is a superb person and wants to be part of what we are doing. We are pleased he has signed for Hunslet and, aged 19, can only get better.”
Ethan commented “I’m grateful to be staying at Hunslet after being on loan at the end of the season, and especially off the back of promotion.
“I loved being a part of Hunslet, especially with this group of lads. The morale we created as a team is something I was keen to stay involved with.
“I’m looking forward to the challenge of the Championship and playing with a great set of lads.
“I’m extremely thankful to Dean for the opportunity and the faith he has shown in me by wanting to sign me for next season.”
Hunslet fans got to see what Wood could do last season and will be excited to see him join an already impressive looking squad for the 2025 Betfred Championship Season.
