Nigerian born Will Sharp startin his career as a Quins RL player before joining Hull FC in 2010. He then joined Featherstone Rovers in 2013 when then Coach Daryl Powell compared him to Rugby Union star Jason Robinson. Sharp made an immediate impact on the squad with his fearless style. In 2014 Will Sharp was the clubs highest tryscorer in 2014. This put him joint 4th overall for the Kingstone Press Championship with Scott Turner of the Sheffield eagles on 23 tries. He was voted player of the year and was named in the Championship dream team for the second consecutive year.

Well done Fax in signing a very good quick lad,we still maybe need another one yet though,I'm a bit perplexed at RMS decision to sign Bennington though , can he improve our pack?Or are we going to release a couple of forwards next season,RM has reportedly stated he intends only making a couple of signings for next year,if Smeaton is going to be another there won't be much movement from now till the end of the season.
I have been chastised for stating Heaton and Tyrer are overweight but it's just my thoughts, Heaton is not exactly Slim Jim.Anyway hopefully a good ending to the season on Sunday would be nice to quieten the Lanky hordes,it's another must win for them.

Have to disagree,needed a loose forward for ages.Thought Divvo would develop into the role his father excelled in,but hasn't as yet.

Re: Will Sharp : Mon Sep 07, 2015 2:09 pm  

Been mentioned for a couple of weeks now and still not officially official, so unofficially.

A big welcome to Fax in the near future Will.

Quality signing who knows how to defend and where the try line is.

Sounds like a good signing and will give us another option on the wing, along with Tommy and Pottsy (I am assuming they are staying - not hearing any different). I am also assuming Alex Brown will be staying at Batley lol
Don't think Salty is a winger, FB seems to be his best position- which will give us Miles and Salty to cover FB. All in all gives a bit more depth in the squad which has been the thing that has caught us out in the qualifiers. Could also do with at least another quality centre imo.
Be good if the club could start announcing who is staying.

Disappointed in Sharp's performances against Leigh, this season. However, previously he has been a thorn in our side - so an excellent signing, with real pace.

RM's apparent decision to not bring in many new faces should be a huge plus for you. Continuity is a big factor in the progress of your team - it's helped us enormously at Leigh. Also, keeping the bulk of your squad makes it so much easier to integrate a few new players.

Here's looking forward to more cracking (although better tempered!) games with you next season. (I am, I think, looking forward to Sunday's game, as well! )
