Danny Addy has ensured his career will continue into a seventeenth season after securing a new club for the coming season.

Addy made his breakthrough at Bradford Bulls and remained there until the end of 2016, when he left to join Hull KR. After three seasons with the Robins he joined Leigh, but spent just one season at Leigh Sports Village before joining Salford Red Devils.

He joined Featherstone Rovers in 2024 but was left without a club following recent developments. He has also played for Dewsbury Rams and Widnes Vikings on loan during his career.

Meanwhile, Crusaders now boast a number of familiar names, with their squad featuring the likes of Dec Patton and Greg Eden. They are the club that have a bye round for the opening week of Championship fixtures, but take on Bedford Tigers in the Challenge Cup next week, before taking on Widnes in their first league outing.
