Dewsbury Rams are delighted to announce the signing of Owen Harrison from Hull KR for the 2022 Betfred Championship season.
The 22-year old previously played for the Rams on loan back in 2019 and returns to the Tetley’s Stadium as a more mature player having gained experience playing in Super League.
Standing over 6’5ft, the arrival of Harrison bolsters Lee Greenwood’s squad for next season as the club begin to build heading into the 2022 Betfred Championship campaign.
“I am really buzzing to have signed with the club for next year. I can’t wait to get stuck in to pre-season and get ready for a big year both for me personally and for the team.” Said Harrison.
“Once I had the chance to sit down with Lee Greenwood and he expressed the vision he saw for myself and also the club it was an easy decision to make.
“Dewsbury is a great club and with a good pre-season under our belts I can see us having a very positive year in 2022.
“I had a brief spell with the Rams back when I was 19 and now I’m 22 so I believe I have matured and become a better player so I hope I can bring a lot more to the team than I did back then.
“There are also a lot of new faces around the squad from when I was last here so I am looking forward to meeting them all.
“It is going to be a big change for me and one which I can not wait for. I am looking forward to playing some regular rugby and I want to be playing at my best and hopefully we can get into the top half of the table come the end of the year.”
Rams boss Lee Greenwood added: “I am really pleased to have Owen on board for next season. He impressed everyone during his loan spell with us back in 2019 and he has gone on to play a number of Super League games for Hull KR since.
“It has not worked out as he would have wanted it to this year meaning he has had a bit of thinking to do. This next year is crucial for his rugby career now and he knows that.
“He adds some real size and presence in the pack for us but is a very skilful player as well. If he does the right things in pre-season I am confident that Owen can be a star for us next year.”
