Whitehaven Rugby League club will have added support to their squad for the remainder of the Championship season.
The Ortus Rec club has confirmed the loan signings of Woody Walker and Jaiden Drachenberg from their Super League clubs.
Walker returns from Castleford after making his debut for Haven in the 34-24 victory over Swinton earlier this month when he made a good impression from the bench.
At the time Haven coach James Newton indicated that Walker might be available for the rest of the season, but the young forward returned to his parent club to feature in the reserves competition.
He’s now free to return to Whitehaven and complete the season with Newton’s squad.
Drachenberg is a new name to Haven fans who is coming in from Wigan Warriors to complete the Championship campaign with the West Cumbrians.
A former Wigan St Judes junior he is comfortable playing anywhere in the backs having first signed for the Warriors scholarship scheme in 2021.
This will be Drachenberg’s second spell in the Championship this season having played for North Wales Crusaders on the wing in their 50-22 loss to Halifax Panthers in March.
Both will be available for this weekend’s Championship clash away to Hunslet at the South Leeds Stadium.
