Having earned a deal for this season after impressing on trial, the 23-year-old former Wigan academy star has now put pen to paper on a contract to stay at Boundary Park for a further year under head coach Sean Long.

“I’m buzzing with the new deal,” Tyrer said.

“I came on trial at the start of the year and it was evident that I wanted to be here. I just did everything I could to get into the team and then once I was in the team I did everything I could to keep my place.

“I get on with all the lads and it has felt like home.

"I have enjoyed the training and the coaching staff and everyone involved with the club.

"The team goal is promotion, that is what everyone wants.

"Personally I want to finish on top of the try charts but if that doesn’t happen then I would rather get promoted first and everything else is a bonus.”
