Championship One side Hunslet have signed former England international Waine Pryce from Featherstone Rovers.

The 28-year-old winger has played in Super League with Castleford Tigers and Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.

"I would like to thank Hunslet for giving me the opportunity to get back in the game," said Pryce.

"I know a lot of the current squad at the club and certainly believe they should be playing in the Championship next season."

Pryce scored 24 tries in 45 appearances for Featherstone in a two-year spell and also represented England and Great Britain in 2002/03 making five appearances.

Hawks director of rugby Darren Williams said: "We were not actively looking to add to the squad but when we were approached regarding Waine's availability the temptation was just too good to resist.

"It's not everyday that you get the opportunity to sign an international who possesses the finishing prowess that Waine has, obviously he is vastly experienced and has pace to burn and in my opinion could still cut it in Super League.

"Waine was actually courted by York City Knights but to our delight he decided his future was with the Hawks."
