Hunslet half-back Simon Brown has agreed a new one-year deal with the club.

The 30-year-old has made more than 200 career appearances for Sheffield, York, Halifax, Dewsbury and Hunslet.

Brown started last season at Dewsbury but moved to Hunslet towards the back end of the year, where he played six games.

Hunslet coach Gary Thornton said: “Simon made a massive difference in his short spell with us last season.

“He managed our gameplan superbly. He has an astute kicking game, and he’s a good voice on and off the pitch.

“He’s very good at ensuring that the coaches’ instructions are put into practice and his partnership with Dom Brambani will be invaluable.

“They were very effective together at Sheffield and that previous understanding will stand us in good stead.”
