Workington’s all-time greatest point scorer Carl Forber has re-signed with the club for the 2021 season. He has been with the club for over 10 years.

He said: “I’m chuffed to have signed again and I just want to be back on the pitch with the lads as it’s been a long year without rugby. Hopefully things take a turn for the better with everything that is going on and we can have a good crack at it.”

Workington have also announced the signing of Brad Holroyd from Leigh on a one-year deal. He made his debut for the Centurions in the 1895 Cup in 2019, and featured for Rochdale on loan in 2020.

Ryan Dixon, 27, has agreed to a new deal with Doncaster for the 2021 season. It will be his third season with the club since signing in 2019.
