Walmsley and Jouffret sign contract extensions at Halifax Panthers

Jouffret, 26, said: “To be honest, I didn’t really think about going anywhere else.

“I’m just happy here. Things have started to click with Keyesy and Woody and I’m just happy with the way we’re playing, the way I am in the team, and where the team is going. I think we’re going upwards and I’m just happy with it and looking forward to the future.”

Walmsley said: "“It was an easy decision to make. It’s been a welcoming experience coming to this club.

"Obviously, there was 11 new faces when I got here but to have those lads welcome me like they have, it’s been good. But to sign a deal for another two years, I’m very grateful and excited for what can be made of it. It’s a very professional club so it’s good to be a part of it.”
