Widnes sign Ellis Robson on loan from Warrington

Drew Darbyshire

Widnes have signed forward Ellis Robson on an initial two-week loan from Warrington.

The 22-year-old back-rower has made seven appearances for Warrington since making his first team debut in 2020.

Robson had initially agreed to join Ottawa Aces for 2021 but the Canadian club agreed to waive the contract so Robson could remain at Warrington after being offered a new two-year deal last year.

The young forward has played seven games for Widnes on loan over the past two seasons, and has also enjoyed loan spells with Rochdale and Dewsbury.

Robson will link up with the Vikings on an initial two-week loan with immediate effect.
