Eagles swoop in for Magrin

Sheffield Eagles have signed Jamaica international Jon Magrin from Bradford Bulls for the 2018 season.

The 23-year-old prop made 60 appearances for London Broncos before joining Bradford ahead of the 2017 season.

Despite financial troubles at the Bulls, the Jamaica star decided to stay and played 25 games for the club last term.

And Eagles head coach Mark Aston is delighted to bring the former Malta international to the Olympic Legacy Park for next season.

He said: “It’s great to bring Jon in. He’s a proven try-scorer and at just 23, he is still developing and hopefully we can continue his development here at the Eagles.

“The word from Keith (Senior) is that he is training well and has integrated well with the group.

“I look forward to working with him on my return from Australia next week.”
