LEAGUE 1 ROUND-UP
HUNSLET's recent signing Richard Wilkinson will have to wait for his chance to shine at the club, but his new coach Alan Kilshaw has been pleased with the attitude he has shown towards that challenge.
Wilkinson has moved to the South Leeds Stadium following his requested release from London Skolars earlier this month.
"Richard got in touch with us a couple of weeks ago and asked for an opportunity," explained Kilshaw.
"We were happy to give him that, but he knows he is behind a couple of the other guys. He's working hard in training and knows he just has to continue to do that and wait for his chance, but he is happy to do it.
"He brings quite a bit of experience and versatility and he's not afraid to talk and be a bit of a leader in meetings and on the field. That's always good and the younger players can learn a lot from him."
As well as Wilkinson's arrival, the club has been further boosted by the deal to keep Jacob Doyle at the club on a seasonlong loan deal from Featherstone.
"A season-long deal with Jacob was something we spoke about initially but it was a case of making sure we were all happy with each other," added Kilshaw.
