Super League prop makes immediate loan move

We have seen a lot of transfers in Super League such as Leeds Rhinos, Wigan Warriors, Warrington Wolves, Hull FC and Hull KR.

In fact this week alone we have seen Josh Griffin leave Hull FC for Wakefield Trinity effective immediate.

This comes as the club are set to lose star halfback Jake Clifford to NRL club North Queensland Cowboys.

They have now allowed another player to leave.

This comes as Keighley Cougars have a revamp of their squad having also appointed new coach Matt Foster.

Foster spent 11 of his 13 professional seasons at Cougars and was a consistent force for the club as a centre/full back and now returns in a coaching capacity.

Matt has spent the last 10 years as coach at Burleigh Bears and in his time there has worked with the Queensland Cup First Team and A Grade securing 6 Grand Final appearances with 3 wins for the latter.

Speaking of his desire to return to Keighley Matt said “This all happened within 36 hours or so. I’ve been following Keighley this season from the Gold Coast and when the phone call came through last week it was a fairly quick and easy decision for me to make.”

“I am looking forward to meeting the players and understanding their strengths and weaknesses as well as reintroducing myself to the fans. I left in 2007 and I still see the hardened followers on social media and I am just looking forward to getting my hands dirty and getting straight in with the boys to create a positive end to the season.”

Following his appointment, the Cougars have made their first signing brining in Matty Laidlaw on loan from Hull FC.

The strong carrying prop forward is a powerful front rower, difficult to bring to a halt and just what the club are looking to add to the squad.
