Bears add more experience in back row

We are delighted to announce the signing of Ricky Murphy who joins us from January.

Tom Tsang commented:

Ricky is a player who has come with strong recommendations from our contacts in both Australia and England. He has recently finished the second of two stints down-under and returns to the UK looking for an opportunity to play at League 1 level. He is a physical and athletic backrow and provides competition in that position for the players we retained from last season. He has previously played for Wigan Warriors u16 and Widnes Vikings u19s and knows a number of the current squad, so he will fit straight in when he returns from Australia in January.
