Liam Whitton
Ex Siddal, Leeds Academy and Fev

One with potential but probably not first team.

Good to see Fax picking up local lads.

Welcome aboard Liam.

Question is, if Liam is number 7 and we are signing 10, who from the rumoured Wood, Jouffret, Douglas and Arundel is the odd one out with Wood being confirmed a deffo by Terry.
Unless it’s now 11 incoming?

I've heard Arundel is a Panther.

Tbh I’ve heard they’re all still coming so might be a bonus , I can’t imagine him being on massive wages and it gives a good bit of competition in them areas , also the lads very popular and from siddal , he’s got the most engagements on social media than all are new signings and like Grix said it might bring more fans in and makes other players coming through the ranks at siddal view Halifax as a viable option , great work in the community from Grix and co .

Good signing, heard really good things about him from Siddal and its not a bad idea to have another local lad in the squad. His chances are going to be few and far between so he probably knows the work that is ahead of him to get the coaching staff thinking so he is obviously backing himself and it never hurts to have someone in the suad who is willing to work that hard.

Of the signings mentioned above the only one Ive not really heard anything concrete about is Douglas but having watched him in the play off games he looks to have improved massively since he left us and he looks like a player that you really want on your team the grit he showed limping his way through the Keighley game while still been one of the best on the pitch.

Welcome Liam couldn't agree more with the above posts this signing sends the message to other local players that there is a chance for you at Halifax and there is more to rugby then just super league. As for the number of signings i think it will be more then 10 and there could always be some loan deals too.

Now confirmed..Great signing.
