Gledhills tweeting about us offering a forward, James Davies a one month trial, ex leeds academy, hunslet and had a stint in lower leagues down under. Not sure if micks jumped gun as can't find any mention of it anywhere else.

If he's played 30 games in L1 or L2 it's probably be a decent pick up..

Very strange that it's not on website.

Confirmed by Leigh Beattie in an interview with Mick.

With it been a trial he can't play in that time.

Moore is or was on trial...
As was walker who played.

They were registered as short term contracts.

I would guess he can play, as Leigh said if he is fit and up to the job he may get a shot at a game

Is he any good?

A quick google search tells me that he was called up by Penrith U-20's while he was Down Under, which in addition to coming through Rhino's academy suggests some talent. Currently playing part time RU for Morley. There's plenty of examples of players coming through similar convoluted paths back to professional RL and doing very well. Good luck to the lad.

Hopefully he does well, plus point would be that it's another permanent signing to cover for when loanee's are recalled.

Played at Shaw Cross for the last couple of years since he got back from Australia, with his second spell at Hunslet in the middle of that.

James has all of the attributes to play at this level. He's Huge, got a fair pair of hands on him and is lightening fast. The only things that have ever been in question were his fitness and work ethic. He's dropped over 3 stone lately, so I think it's fair to say he's fixed those up.

Best of luck James from everyone at Shaw Cross.
