Jordan Abdull signs permanent deal with the Eagles

06/05/2026

Sheffield Eagles are pleased to confirm the permanent signing of half-back Jordan Abdull from Widnes Vikings on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

The 30-year-old initially joined the Eagles on a one-month loan just two weeks ago and made an immediate impact, scoring a try and earning Player of the Match on his debut against Salford R.L.F.C.

A former England international, Abdull brings significant top-level experience, with more than 120 Betfred Super League appearances across spells with Hull F.C., Hull Kingston Rovers, London Broncos and Catalans Dragons.

After missing Sunday’s Betfred Championship clash against his former club at the DCBL Stadium, Abdull is expected to return into contention this weekend when the Eagles travel to the Fibrus Community Stadium to face Workington Town (3pm kick-off).

Speaking on making his deal with the Eagles permanent, Jordan said, “I’m happy to get it sorted. Widnes have allowed me to take this opportunity, so I’d like to thank them first and foremost.

“Coming back this year was all about playing as much as I can, and Sheffield have given me that opportunity, something I’m grateful for.

“For the next couple of years, I’ll be trying my best to guide the team around the field, but in the short term, I’m really looking forward to building some connections with the team, and the fans too.”

Jordan will be personally sponsored by Frankie (Midnite) Worrell, for the remainder of the 2026 campaign.
