KEIGHLEY Cougars have announced that back row Brad England has signed a new multi-year deal with the club.

The former Bradford Bulls player joined Cougars on loan in July, on a deal until the end of the season, but injury and suspension disrupted his 2024.

He wants to repay Keighley for the faith they have shown in him by trying to help them get promoted in 2025, where they will hope to establish themselves as a staple of the Betfred Championship.

Head coach Jake Webster said: “"I've been impressed with Brad while he's been with us.

“Some of his habits and attributes are very useful on the field and to the group.

“He's a very powerful player with great leg speed, his experience is something we need and I will work with Brad this pre-season to make sure he understands his role in the team."
