OLDHAM have signed former Salford Red Devils academy back-rower Sam Littler on a one-year deal.
Littler, 18, appeared for Salford’s reserves and academy outfits last season before the club’s liquidation.
“Sam is a talented and hard-working young forward who has already shown a great attitude during his time training with Oldham,” said their director of rugby, Mike Ford.
Blackpool-born Littler said: “Here I think I can learn loads – you only need to look at the experience of this team and the players who have been at the top level for a very long time.
“In just the few sessions I have done already I have been learning straight away and it is really good to be a part of that.”
