Flanagan re-signs with Hunslet

Hooker George Flanagan has today signed a new two-year contract with Hunslet.

The deal will mean that Flanagan will remain at the South Leeds Stadium until the end of the 2018 season.

The hooker originally joined the club from Featherstone Rovers on a one-year deal in 2015 after successful spells at Batley and Dewsbury.

Flanagan has been a standout player for the Hawks this season, scoring 11 tries in 18 appearances.

He has made a total of 40 appearances for the club scoring 17 tries.

Director of Rugby Darren Williams saidL “Retaining George was high on our priority list, he showed some loyalty to the club following relegation last season when he decided to stay, and we are delighted to reward his loyalty with this two-year deal.

“His enthusiasm for the game and his attitude is second to none.

“He’s a born winner and this season he’s been close to been back to where he was before his serious leg operation in 2014.”
