EnglandThe presence of Alan Kilshaw as head coach was a key factor in persuading Jordan Syme to join Hunslet from Rochdale.
The 24-year-old loose forward, who is 5ft 11in tall and weighs in at 15 stones, said after agreeing a one-year deal: “I spent a while on loan from Halifax at Rochdale, when Alan was Hornets’ coach, and I really enjoyed playing under him.
“That made the decision to sign for the Parksiders an easy one, and I’m now looking forward to a new challenge, and more game-time.”
A product of Halifax outfit’s King Cross Park and Siddal, he added: “My aim is to play in the Championship with Hunslet; it’s a new challenge for me and I’m relishing playing in a young side next season.”
