Dewsbury have signed a second Leeds Rhinos youngster on a dual registration deal in the shape of prop Brad Singleston.

Singleton, 19, joins hooker Liam Hood in signing for the Championship club, who have been looking to bolster their front row options since the retirement of Nick Fozzard.

The Barrow-born forward made his Super League debut for Leeds in March 2011, coming off the bench in a 46-12 win over Salford, where he became the 50th academy product to play first team for the Rhinos.

He added to that with a top flight appearance against London Broncos earlier this month.

Singleton has previously represented England academy, as well as Cumbria at Under 15 and Under 16s.
