Oldham sign ex-Hunslet utility back Paga

Roughyeds now have seven players under contract for 2023, including new boys Patrick Ah Van and Jordan Paga

Oldham Rugby League Club have followed up their capture of former Widnes Vikings wing star Patrick Ah Van by signing utility back Jordan Paga, a 21-year-old who was at Hunslet last season.

Of Polish descent, Paga was born in Huddersfield and played for his local Super League club, Huddersfield Giants, at Academy and reserves levels.

He also captained England Colleges, from half-back, during his time with the Halifax Elite Rugby Squad.

Roughyeds now have seven players under contract for 2023, including new boys Ah Van and Paga.

Said head coach Stuart Littler: "We are building nicely for next year with a mix of youth and experience.

"More signing announcements will be made in the next few days and weeks.

"As for Jordan Paga, he's a quality lad; a good, lifelong friend of Kian Morgan, our Shooting Star; and a very versatile player who gives us options at full-back, hooker and all across the three-quarter line."
