Moore told the club’s website: “I have full faith in Simon building a strong squad for the new season and looking forward to getting back out there in the near future, with old and new faces.”

And Fax boss Simon Grix was happy to have the former Castleford academy product signed and sealed for 2021.

“Brandon has become an important cog in our team and up there with the best 9’s in the competitio­n for me. He has a great attitude and continues to work hard to improve his game. He’s a leader by action and we are certainly happy he is on board for 2021.”

Winger Robinson said: “I’m really happy to have signed another year at this great club”, said Robinson.

“Me and my family are looking forward to seeing everyone down at The Shay soon. I think we all need to jump on board and get behind Simon as I believe the culture he is bringing to the club will only bring success.

“A few huge personalit­ies/ good friends have left the club and which will be irreplacea­ble but I still believe we will be better next season.

“I can’t wait to pull the blue and white on again and see all the fans next season. Stay safe.”

Grix was happy to have Robinson back on board for another go around.

“Robbo although small in stature is very tough, very competitiv­e and plays a high energy game with no thought for self preservati­on.

“The lads love playing with him and appreciate his willingnes­s to put his hand up and get us moving forward.

“We are looking forward to seeing this again in 2021.”

Winger McGrath has seen first team opportunit­ies limited during his time with the club but with the departure of Jodie Broughton, he has a chance to stake a claim for a regular starting spot in Grix’s side as he continues his developmen­t in the blue and white.

He said: “I’m buzzing to have signed for Fax again. I’m on board with what Simon is building here and looking forward to playing at The Shay again after a long break.

“Halifax have been good to me ever since I joined the reserves so it was an easy decision to stay for another year.

“Pre season will no doubt be the hardest yet after all this time off but we will be firing come February and ready to go.”

And Grix was happy to have the speedster back in his ranks for another year.

“Conor has been improving steadily since Martin Gonzalez got him to the club and has aquitted himself well whenever called upon, displaying his finishing qualities as well as putting his hand up for the tough stuff.

“He’s a pleasure to coach, and I look forward to seeing him develop further.”

McGrath has made 16 first team appearance­s so far during his Shay tenure, scoring 10 tries, and will be looking to continue his upward trajectory with the West Yorkshire outfit.

He spent four games on loan with York City Knights and Dewsbury Rams in 2019, scoring three tries.
