Commenting on the news, Hunslet head coach, Dean Muir, said: “To get Mason on board for the rest of the season and committed to 2026 was important. He’s a good person who trains hard.
“He wants to get better every session and has a seriousness to his training which we need. I’m looking forward to working with him and seeing him develop in our environment.
“Will Kirby is a strong, aggressive back rower who has played in Super League. He adds depth to our edges and brings punch and a big carry.”

“This depth will help add competition for places, which in turn will help raise standards in training.
“We continue to work hard behind the scenes, looking to add both quality and professional standards that will add to the environment and ultimately team performances.
