“He is a confident bloke, strong, agile and works hard” - Centre McComb joins hometown club Halifax

The former Siddal and Huddersfield player joins his hometown club after impressive spells at Oldham, helping them to promotion to the Championship, and then Sheffield Eagles before the 2020 season was cancelled.

He is Fax’s third new signing along with Greg Worthington and Connor Robinson.

McComb said: “Obviously it’s class to sign for my hometown club, it’s going to be a really enjoyable year. I’m really looking forward to just getting back training never mind playing.”

Head coach Simon Grix said: “While we aren’t in a position to produce our own at present we do keep an eye on players from our area and Zack is one of these.

“We actually had him before, but the time away has served him well and we will welcome back an improved player.  He is a confident bloke, strong, agile and works hard on his game.

“He’s coming here to challenge himself and push for a place in his hometown team.”
