Featherstone Rovers have signed Ross Divorty from the Championship's bottom club Doncaster.

The 20-year-old second row started his career at Hull FC and has also played for York City Knights and captained the England Under-16's team as a schoolboy.

Head coach Daryl Powell said: "I'm absolutely delighted to sign Ross and he'll give us options in our pack.

"I think he's an exciting young player who'll fit very well into the way we do things at Featherstone."

Meanwhile stand-off Iestyn Harris could return from a bicep injury within three to four weeks.

The former Wales international picked up the injury in Rovers' defeat at Barrow on 23 May and it was initially thought he may not play again this season.
