Oldham have announced the re-signing of scrum-half Dave Hewitt on a one-year deal.

Hewitt, 24, made his debut for the Roughyeds when he was 19 and has gone on to score more than 300 points for the club in 101 appearances.

2021 will be his fifth full season with Oldham.

He said: “The Championship is a tough division but we might surprise one or two people next year. We’ve signed some good players and, at the very least, we’ll be very competitive.”

Head coach Matt Diskin added: “He has a lethal left-foot step and we are working on his game so that he can make the most of it.”
