Hunslet have added a notably astute acquisition to their squad with the capture of highly-rated Michael Knowles.
The forward has joined the Parksiders on a two-year deal from Dewsbury Rams, for whom he has led from the front in recent seasons.
Knowles, 35, has a well-earned reputation for leading by example with, successively, Castleford Tigers, Gateshead Thunder, Barrow Raiders, Sheffield Eagles, Featherstone Rovers and the Rams. Possessing finely honed handling skills, he will play a key role in guiding Hunslet’s youthful pack around the park in the forthcoming Betfred League 1 campaign.
