A wrap up of the latest news in the Championship and League 1.

Swinton have signed young forward Jordan Brown from Widnes ahead of the 2021 campaign.

Bradford have announced Murphy Smith is the latest player from their reserves to be a part of the first-team in 2021.

The 19-year-old joined the club’s scholarship before going on to feature for the academy – and then the reserves in 2020.

The 27-year-old spent time with Hull KR and Newcastle Thunder before linking up with the Dons last year.
