The re-signings are coming thick and fast for Whitehaven ahead of the 2026 season.
Latest to put pen to paper again is Jay Weatherill on a new two-year deal.
That means the former Wath Brow and Hensingham amateur will remain at The Ortus Rec until the end of the 2027 campaign.
Having stepped up from the community game ahead of last season the 26-year-old utility back made 17 appearances which.
They were all in the starting line-up either on the wing or full back.
During the League One campaign he scored nine tries and kicked 22 goals, including the only try in the club’s Challenge Cup meeting with Warrington in February.
The back rounded-off his campaign scoring two tries in the final game of the season at home to North Wales Crusaders before picking up the Turqiri Blackwell Memorial shield at the club’s end of season presentation evening.
The award is selected by the club’s young fans for their best player of the season.
Head coach Anthony Murray said: “I am delighted to have Jay, another of our local lads re-sign for the club.
“He made a real impact in his first professional season, showing great maturity and skill.
“His energy and ability to create something out of nothing brought real excitement to our games, and some of his tries were outstanding.
“We’re looking forward to seeing him build on that and continue his development in his second season — he’s got a big future ahead of him.”
