Yeds swoop for Grand Final winner

Oldham are delighted to confirm the signing of former Super League full-back Jack Walker one a one-year deal.

The 26-year-old former Leeds Rhinos, Hull KR and Hull FC star joins after finishing the season in Super League with Salford and is in contention to make his Oldham debut against his former side in next Friday's Championship opener.

"I'm really excited, Oldham finishing fourth last year which showed it is a quality side, so hopefully I can add to that this year," Walker told Roughyeds TV.

I'm always keen to learn - there are some quality players here and that's what made me sign. I think we will be challenging for the top."

Walker broke through at Leeds in 2017, going on to play 75 times for the Rhinos including that 2017 Super League Grand Final win over Castleford.

As well as stints at both Hull clubs, Walker has built plenty of top-end Championship experience with both Bradford and Sheffield.

"I am looking forward to getting back into that rugby environment," he said.

I think it will be a tough season, but I can't see why we can't go all the way. It will take me a little time to adjust but once we connect and click it will look good on the field.

I do still feel like a Super League player. I put my best foot forward at the back and of last season with Salford so I hope I can bring some value to the team and we can have a successful 2026."
