Hunslet RLFC can today announce that Zach Braham has signed until the end of the season following his release from Doncaster. Braham is a 23 year old prop forward who has made 11 appearances scoring 3 tries in 2018.

Head Coach Gary Thornton said โ€œIโ€™m delighted we have been able to bring Zach in at this stage of the season.

โ€œWe have been struggling a little with injuries lately, so when a quality player like Zach becomes available, we had to act quickly to tie him up and get him on board, amid competition from Championship clubs for his signature.

โ€œI gave Zach his first opportunity at this level when I signed him for Doncaster from Toll Bar.

โ€œAlthough he has been at Hull FC and Sheffield as a junior, and he has grown and improved as a player since then to become an established League 1 prop forward, he has so much more potential to fulfil yet, and hopefully he can do that with us.

โ€œZach will add to our go forward and will get us on the front foot.

โ€œHe is an aggressive runner of the ball, and offers a lot of punch in the middle of the field.

โ€œHe is really keen to get started with us and show the Hunslet fans what he can do.

โ€œIโ€™m really looking forward to working with him again and welcoming him into our group.โ€

Braham added โ€œIโ€™m really looking forward to getting stuck in with the lads and a fresh challenge at a new club.

โ€œI canโ€™t wait to pull on the jersey and get on the field with the boys.

โ€œHunslet is a big club and Iโ€™m really pleased to have signed here and there a great bunch so that makes it even more of a bonus.

โ€œI know Gary quite well as I played under him at Doncaster. Heโ€™s a great bloke and Iโ€™m looking forward to working with him again.

โ€œI would like to thank Gary and Darren at Hunslet for the opportunity and I vow to give 110% to the club and contribute to achieve our goals for the season.โ€œ

Meanwhile Director of Rugby Darren Williams revealed that Marcus Elliott has re-joined the club from Hemel Stags.

Williams commented โ€œMarcus got in touch with Gary Thornton and asked if there would be an opportunity for him to re-join the club following his release from Hemel at his own request.

โ€œWe are currently light of outside backs and he trained with the club on Tuesday and immediately impressed scoring 2 tries on dual registration last night for Keighley Cougars reserves at Bradford Bulls.โ€œ

Williams also announced that Jordan Gill has left the club by mutual consent following a long standing knee problem.
