Trio commit to Halifax

Halifax have confirmed Shaun Robinson, Conor McGrath and Brandon Moore have signed new deals for 2021.

Winger Robinson joined the club in 2019, and has since scored 16 tries in 19 games for Simon Grix’s men.

He said: “Me and my family are looking forward to seeing everyone down at The Shay soon. I think we all need to jump on board and get behind Simon as I believe the culture he is bringing to the club will only bring success.

“A few huge personalities/good friends have left the club and which will be irreplaceable but I still believe we will be better next season. I can’t wait to pull the blue and white on again and see all the fans next season.”

McGrath, also a winger, spent time on loan at York City Knights last season, and is hoping to get a regular spot.

He added: “I’m buzzing to have signed for Fax again. I’m on board with what Simon is building here and looking forward to playing at The Shay again after a long break.

“Halifax have been good to me ever since I joined the reserves so it was an easy decision to stay for another year. Pre season will no doubt be the hardest yet after all this time off but we will be firing come February and ready to go.”

Moore signed in 2016 from Castleford Tigers, and has scored 12 tries for them in 67 matches.

The Cumbrian added: “It has been unfortunate that we have not been able to play due to the current circumstances happening at the moment. I have really missed training and playing on the weekends and I am looking forward to getting back in and getting started.

“A lot of lads are moving on who have been a big part of the team and the club and they will be a big miss both on and off the field. I wish them all the best. I have full faith in Simon building a strong squad for the new season and looking forward to getting back out there in the near future, with old and new faces.”
