Harry Bowes signs two-year deal with Sheffield Eagles!

10/10/2025

Sheffield Eagles are delighted to confirm that Harry Bowes has made his loan move permanent, signing a two-year deal with the club.

The 24-year-old becomes our second new signing ahead of the 2026 campaign, following the arrival of winger Joe Brown on Thursday evening.

Bowes impressed during a loan spell during the 2025 campaign, making six appearances for Craig Lingard’s side at the back end of the season, which has helped earn him a permanent stay in South Yorkshire.

A hooker who can also feature at loose forward, Bowes returned to the Betfred Championship earlier this year after starting the season in League One with Keighley Cougars. He has also previously featured for Wakefield Trinity and Featherstone Rovers.

Bowes made a strong impact during the latter stages of the campaign, and fans can now look forward to seeing more of him in red and gold after committing his future to the club until the end of the 2027 season.

Speaking on signing a permanent deal with the club, Harry said, “I’m really pleased to commit my future here, I came in at the back end of last season and really enjoyed being here, so when the opportunity came about to stay for another two years, it was a pretty easy decision.”

Head Coach Craig Lingard added, “Harry’s hardworking, tough, and determined, exactly the type of player you want in your squad. He brings so many of the qualities a coach looks for, and he fitted into the group perfectly last year. It was important for us to keep hold of him, and I’m delighted he wanted to stay with Sheffield moving forward.”
