Hooker Doyle has joined Trinity on a one-year deal after spending the 2023 season in the Betfred Championship with Keighley Cougars.

“He is a quality addition to back up Liam Hood,” Powell said of the 24-year-old who played for Bradford Bulls from 2019-2022.

“He is quick and strong with quality service around the ruck. I’m looking forward to working with him and seeing how he can grow into being a Super League player of the future.”
