Whitehaven have signed former Workington Town hooker Nathan Lucock on a 12-month deal.

Lucock was released by Workington earlier this week and Haven have been quick to sign the former Glasson Rangers player.

The 22-year-old joined Town last season and made 12 appearances but was limited to just six run-outs this year amongst competition from captain Graeme Mattinson and Callum Phillips.

Haven’s director of rugby James Robinson said: “It’s really exciting to have him at the club.

“I don’t think he has been given the opportunity to fulfil his potential at Workington so we are pleased to have him with us. He’s a local lad too and his goals as a player fit into our criteria and match our aims.”
