Jordan-Roberts played twice for Leeds in 2016-2017 and has since featured for Bradford Bulls (seven games), York City Knights (30), Rochdale Hornets (17) and Hunslet (43).

Hunslet coach Alan Kilshaw said: “We have put in some building blocks with our last two performances, against Midlands and Cornwall, towards how we want to play and evolve.
