He featured twice in 2023, including the 56-16 win over rivals Rochdale Hornets as well as a triumph over North Wales Crusaders.

“The ambitions the club has and where it is looking to be in the next few years were the main reasons I wanted to come here,” Astley said.

“I really enjoyed my time at Oldham in the stints I’ve had. It was my first experience at professional level and I’m looking forward to playing at Boundary Park with some quality experienced players.”
