Eagles sign Oliver Roberts on loan from Huddersfield

Sheffield Eagles have signed Oliver Roberts from Huddersfield Giants on an initial month-long loan deal.

Roberts, 19, is a back rower who joined the Giants from Bradford Bulls last season.

“Ollie is a player who I have had my eye on for some time and was keen to involve with Ireland last Autumn but his injury unfortunately prevented this,” said Eagles director of rugby Mark Aston.

“He is now fully fit and looking to get back to his best.  Ollie will be an excellent addition to our squad.”
