OLDHAM have snapped up former Super League fullback Jack Walker on a one-year deal.

The 26-year-old finished the 2025 season with Salford Red Devils, with Walker’s future up in the air following that club’s demise.

But, Walker could make his debut for his new club against Salford in next weekend’s Championship opener.

The youngest Super League Grand Final winner ever, Walker came through the Leeds Rhinos academy, registering 75 appearances including that 2017 Super League Grand Final win over Castleford.

Stints at Hull FC, Hull KR, Bradford Bulls and Sheffield Eagles followed, but Walker is keen to make his mark at the Roughyeds.

“I’m really excited, Oldham finishing fourth last year which showed it is a quality side, so hopefully I can add to that this year,” Walker told Roughyeds TV.

I’m always keen to learn – there are some quality players here and that’s what made me sign. I think we will be challenging for the top.

“I am looking forward to getting back into that rugby environment,” he said.

“I think it will be a tough season, but I can’t see why we can’t go all the way. It will take me a little time to adjust but once we connect and click it will look good on the field.

“I do still feel like a Super League player. I put my best foot forward at the back and of last season with Salford so I hope I can bring some value to the team and we can have a successful 2026.”
