Prop Fleming joins ’Fax from Toronto

RUGBY LEAGUE: Halifax have signed Wales prop Dan Fleming from Toronto Wolfpack on a two-year deal.

The ex-Bradford Bulls forward is set to come straight into Richard Marshall’s squad for Sunday’s friendly at Championship rivals Featherstone Rovers.

Fleming, 25, has also featured with Castleford Tigers in Super League and played 15 games for Toronto last term as they swept to League 1 glory.

However, he has now been released by the Canadian outfit for family reasons and instead joins his hometown club.

Sheffield Eagles, meanwhile, have also made a new signing ahead of next month’s Championship kick-off, bringing in Scotland full-back Oscar Thomas from Bradford on a oneyear contract.
