Workington Town have made their first signing ahead of the 2011 season with the addition of former Whitehaven half-back Mark Bainbridge.

Bainbridge, 22, left Haven to play the union code with local club St Benedict's, but has been attracted back to league by Town coach Gary Charlton.

"He was a very promising player," Charlton said.

"I'm pleased that we are going to give him another opportunity in league. It's up to us to bring out the potential."

Charlton added: "He is a former youth international and I think he could make a very good stand-off.

"We're looking forward to getting him into the squad."
