Swinton swoop for Tyson
Swinton have signed centre George Tyson from relegated Oldham.
Tyson, 24, came through the ranks at Salford but has made his name with the Roughyeds, either side of a spell with Sheffield.
He said: “I am really looking forward to starting the new season as a Lion. I’m looking forward to learning new things off Stuart because he was a class centre and someone I admire.”
Coach Stuart Littler added: “I am absolutely delighted with the signing of George Tyson. He is an athlete who is both powerful and dynamic.
“George will add some serious strike threat to our edges and I am looking forward to working with him over the next 12
months.
“In past encounters with both Oldham and Sheffield, George has been a constant threat to our team and so I am now grateful he has decided to join us! George is another piece in the Swinton jigsaw which is now coming together nicely.”
