Hornets sign Lee Mitchell, Dec Kay and Lewis Hatton

Date published: 22 July 2017


Rochdale Hornets have signed Warrington Wolves trio Lee Mitchell, Dec Kay and Lewis Hatton until the end of the season, giving the club a huge boost ahead of the Championship Shield.

All three have featured recently on dual-registration, but Hornets have secured their services to improve their squad for the next stage of the season.

Head coach Alan Kilshaw said: "We are delighted to secure these three players until the end of the season at least.

"All three have been outstanding to us and it's another example of the reserve system working as these lads may have been lost to the game at the start of the season.

"Lee Briers deserves a lot of credit for developing them since November and we thank Warrington Wolves for the transfer of the players to the Hornets."

Mitchell, Kay and Hatton will all be up for selection for this weekend's crucial derby clash with Oldham, as Hornets go in search of an eighth placed finish in the final game of the regular season.
