Director of Rugby Mark Aston said: “We're delighted to have signed Alex for the next two years. He's a talented player who has Super League experience and will provide us with a real strike and gives further competition to our forwards.

"He's a time in his career where he is after some stability after an moving club's mid-way through 2023 and hopefully we can provide that for him.

“Alex is familiar with a number of the boys already at the club, having spent time at Castleford with the Jesse (Sene-Lefao), QLT and Cory (Aston), so he will fit into the group seamlessly.

"I'm really pleased to get a player of Alex's pedigree into the club, and I'm looking forward to seeing him represent the club in 2024."
