Whitehaven have announced a double whammy - as they snap up Distington star Aiden Worthington and re-sign Kurtis Quinn.

Worthington was part of the unbeaten Distington team who snapped up all five trophies on offer to them this season.

And he made history at the club, where he has spent the lat 10 years, by becoming the first Distington player to be called up for a BARLA GB side.

He is looking forward to the new challenge and said: "This is a huge opportunity for me and I will do all I can to impress.

"Without the help of my amateur coaches Gary and Carl Hewer this wouldn't be possible so I would like to take the time to thank them for everything I have done and all the support they have given."

Haven coach Carl Forster was delighted to welcome him on board, alongside the returning Kurtis Quinn.

He added: "It's great to have another local on board after doing so well in the amateur game this is a natural progression for him.

"Kurtis has rejoined Haven after having a year out last year after recovering from a serious shoulder injury.

"He is an athletic player that we are looking forward to having back in the squad."

Quinn paid his tribute to the club who helped him recover from injury.

He said: "Thank you to Haven for allowing me last year to recover and I am looking forward to pulling on the chocolate blue and gold shirt again."

Forster added: "Kurtis has worked really hard since we spoke about his resigning and has got himself back in to shape for pre-season.

"We are pleased to announce these two new signings which again is continually strengthening our squad.

"We will soon be near to where we want to be with the squad with a few more signings to be announced in the following few days.

"It will be great to have a good squad ready all together for the start of training, which will begin early in November."
