Oldham Roughyeds have signed Blackpool Panthers centre Tom Woodcock on a one-year contract.

The 23-year-old spent five years at Leigh Centurions before joining Blackpool last summer.

He told the club website: "Roughyeds are arguably the best supported club in the division and that was a very big factor in my decision to sign.

"The fan-base is terrific by this division's standards and I will love being a part of that."

He added: "I know a lot of the Oldham lads, and from what they have told me, and what was said when I had my signing talks with [chairman] Chris Hamilton, the club sounds a brilliant place to be.

"Hopefully we can aim to be up near the top and competing. At best we can aim to go one better than in the last four seasons and finally win promotion."
