He has spent the final months of the 2021 campaign on loan at Featherstone Rovers, helping them reach the Million Pound Game.

Greensmith is a product of Trinity’s academy and made his debut for the club against Salford in July, however that proved to be his only appearance for the club.

The outside back spent a large portion of the 2021 season on loan at League One Doncaster and has now signed a deal with Championship side Dewsbury Rams.

RULE CHANGES: Scrums are back and moves made to cut injury time-wasting in 2022“I am really pleased to be signing at Dewsbury and it was a straight-forward decision for me after speaking with Lee [Greenwood, head coach] about the club and his coaching techniques," said Greensmith.

“I think my time at Doncaster helped me develop physically as I had only played academy level before hand and it gave me the experience of playing in high-pressure games, which is what is needed to perform at Dewsbury.

“I am looking forward to the new challenges that come with playing at Championship level and I can not wait to prove myself to Lee Greenwood and the supporters.”

Rams head coach, Lee Greenwood added: “Ollie is a great prospect and we have done well to get him. I was surprised to hear that he was not staying at Wakefield and I am glad that he likes the sound of what we are trying to do here at Dewsbury.

“He has been a standout performer in an unfamiliar position while on loan at Doncaster and this has been his first taste of playing against men on a weekly basis.

“He is a big, strong lad that has the potential to be playing in Super League if he works hard.”
