Owen McCarron

Whitehaven have dipped into the Australian market again to secure the signature of utility forward Owen McCarron.

Joining on a 12-month deal McCarron is due to touch down in the UK by the end of November. 

McCarron, 24, will make his move to the UK having playing in the Queensland Cup competition ‘Down Under’ as well as in the local league in his native Brisbane.

McCarron has spoken to Haven head coach Jonty Gorley about the move to the UK and his eagerness to join the club.

He said: “I’ve looked at the English game and I want to branch out and see what the other competitions have to offer/ Playing overseas representing the Aussie culture in England seems like a pretty cool deal to me.

“I had a good conversation with Jonty and put a few questions to him. He has put my mind at ease and he’s got me really fired up to come over now and I’ll be over before the end of the month.

“The team and club are going to come first, you’re just wearing that jersey for a period of time.”

Gorley added: “When Owen’s clips come through he looked like the type of player I was after. He can play and defend on an edge but also he’s at home through the middle of the field.

“He’s played in the Brisbane League and also played a bit of Queensland Cup this year, so he’s been playing at a good level.

“After speaking to him recently I’ve realised what a great attitude he’s got regarding what he knows he’s to do to get and keep his place in the team.

“He’s got a great approach to fitness and how I want him to fit in with the style of play I want us to play this year. 

“Can’t wait for him to get over at the end of the month and get ripped into pre-season.”
