Oldham Roughyeds have signed loose-forward Johnny Walker on a professional contract to keep him at the club until the end of next season.

The 22-year-old had taken time out of the game to concentrate on becoming a fitness instructor.

The former Wigan trainee has represented England at Under-21 level and had a brief spell at Warrington.

Walker said: "Having had a few weeks at Oldham, I felt a more permanent move would be the right one for me."
