Reiss Butterworth joins Sheffield Eagles

10/11/2024

Sheffield Eagles are pleased to announce the signing of 25-year-old hooker Reiss Butterworth on a two-year deal following his departure from Super League side Hull Kingston Rovers.

He becomes the club’s second new signing ahead of the 2025 season following the announcement of Corey Johnson last weekend. 

Butterworth joined Hull KR ahead of the start of last season, but he went on to spend the second-half of last season on loan at his former side, Dewsbury Rams.

He scored against the Eagles in the last outing of the 2024 season as he put in a man-of-the-match performance for the hosts, helping them to a 28-8 victory at the FLAIR Stadium at the back end of September in the Betfred Championship.

Also formerly of Bradford Bulls and Huddersfield Giants, Butterworth will be looking to make an immediate impact in South Yorkshire, as the Eagles continue to prepare ahead of the new 2025  Betfred Championship season.
