Hornets sign Kieran Rush on loan from Giants

Rochdale Hornets is delighted to announce the signing of Kieran Rush, from Huddersfield Giants, on loan for the rest of the 2022 season.

The hooker, who can also play in the halves, provides reinforcements to Matt Calland’s squad after Aiden Roden sustained an injury in last weekend’s win at Hunslet.

Having played junior rugby at Batley Boys ALRFC, Rush joined the Giants’ academy as a scholar.

His performances for the Super League outfit then earned him his first professional contract, back in September of last year.

The 19-year-old has since been on loan at Swinton Lions, as he works towards making his Super League debut.

Hornets Chairman, Andy Mazey, is excited by the acquisition.

He said: “Kieran is a really talented young rugby player, who had a great season representing a Super League academy last year.

“We’ve had a few lads join us from Huddersfield, so we know the quality of players they produce, and I’m sure he’ll be no different. Welcome to Hornets, Kieran!”

Rush will come straight into contention for Sunday’s trip to Midlands Hurricanes.
