FEATHERSTONE Rovers have secured the services of rising star James Thornton.
Thornton, a former Bradford Bulls Academy product, arrives following a stint in League 1 with Hemel Stags.
Rovers head coach John Duffy is delighted to see the promising 22-year-old put pen to paper with the club.
“We keep a very close eye on all competitions, from the Queensland Cup in Australia to League 1 in the UK,” said Duffy.
“We have watched a fair bit of James this year and he has stuck out like a sore thumb for Hemel – being a top performer week in, week out.
“He is a fantastic project signing for us and comes with a great attitude.
“He will apply himself superbly here and has bags of potential. We believe he has a big future ahead of him.”
