Dewsbury have signed Jamaica international Keenen Tomlinson for the 2021 season.

The 23-year-old back-rower, who can also play centre and wing, will be hoping to represent Jamaica at the 2021 Rugby League World Cup this autumn.

Dewsbury coach Lee Greenwood said: “Keenen will prove to be a valuable squad member for us.

“He has been training with us since November and impressed the coaching staff with his attitude and work ethic. He had clearly worked hard on his own over 2020 which is always a good sign of someone’s professionalism.

“Keenen covers various positions well and he has been strong in any game I’ve seen him play.

“He knows the Championship and has shown he is capable of performing well at this level.

“He also has the goal of making the Jamaica World Cup squad at the end of the year which we will try help him achieve.”
