“I’m delighted to be a Panther for at least the next two years,” said Aston. “Halifax is a big club with a big fan base and I can’t wait to pull on the blue and white jersey.

“I’m really looking forward to what should be an exciting 2022. Simon [Grix] has brought in some great additions to what was already a very strong squad and I can’t wait to get started next week.”

Head coach Simon Grix said: “Cory has a lot of experience in the Championship which will really help us.”

“He is a game management type of player, with a good feel for the flow of a game. He appeals to us as he has shown ambition in his career and certainly has the hunger to continue to improve.”
