We are delighted to announce that Joe Hird has signed on loan for the Rams for 2024 from Sheffield Eagles!

The twenty-year-old prop joins us for on-loan from Sheffield Eagles for the 2024 season. Hird joined the South Yorkshire side ahead of the 2023 season, after rising through the ranks at the Leeds Rhinos academy, where he was captain of the reserve side.

In 2023, Hird played ten times in total, making appearances for Rochdale and Keighley as well as Sheffield.

The club would like to thank Squadbuilder for the help in making this re-signing, to find out how you can contribute to Dewsbury Rams Squadbuilder find out more here, every penny contributed goes directly towards re-signings and new signings.

Upon signing Hird said, “I’m really excited to be here and to get going. I’m ready to get stuck in with the boys and have a good 2024 season with them.”

Head Coach Dale Ferguson said, “Playing alongside him for Dewsbury in pre-season friendlies I thought he brought a lot for a young middle.

He’s a big threat with a good engine and I think he’ll be an asset to our pack, I’m looking forward to seeing him work alongside our other middles.”

Seen this lad a few times. Always caught my eye as a good energetic prop who likes to get stuck in hard. Exciting prospect.
