Oldham sign Aussie ace Moore

Oldham are excited to announce the signing of Australian back-row forward Ewan Moore on a one-year deal from 2026.

The 26-year-old caught Oldham's eye as he impressed with Burleigh Bears in the Queensland Cup this season, having previously starred for Northern Pride.

"I'm very excited and looking forward to getting over there and starting training with the boys. This is a really good opportunity."

Moore was a Premiership winner this year with the Bears and a try-scorer in their State Championship Final defeat to New Zealand Warriors last month. He is now hungry for more success on his move to the UK.

"I've been playing in the Q Cup since 2019, starting with the Northern Pride and then to Burleigh Bears. We won a comp and I have decided I want to have a crack overseas and everything has worked out with Oldham so I'm looking forward to getting over there.

I'm a back rower who will get through a lot of work for the boys. I've met Josh Drinkwater's brother Scotty and have played against Riley Dean when he was at Mackay Cutters. Hopefully I will fit in well.

I have seen the club has been working hard and is very ambitious to get up into Super League and that is very exciting. I want to be at a club that wants to succeed in all areas. Oldham went well last year and it feels very exciting to be a part of."

Roughyeds Director of Rugby Mike Ford said:

"Ewan is a back rower who went really well for Burleigh Bears as they won the comp and got to the State final against the Warriors.

He is a tough hard-working young back row who can bend the line back and is an uncompromising tackler. He is coming over to grab the opportunity."
