Former Wigan star Jake Moore is the latest Cumbrian player to pledge his future to Whitehaven RL.

The young forward began his career with Wath Brow before joining Super League outfit Wigan in 2013 after two years in their scholarship programme.

Haven snapped up the 20-year-old with coach Carl Forster saying he would be a 'fantastic addition'.

He said: "After watching Jake in his Under-19 Grand Final against St Helens I knew he would be a fantastic addition to our squad.

"He is a tough runner with great skill and I am glad we have managed to get him to put pen to paper and join us for 2017."

This latest signing brings Haven's total squad to 24 -with one player not yet announced.

"We are nearly done - but perhaps not quite finished," said general manager Amanda Hewer.

"The squad is taking shape very nicely and clearly Jake will add even more dimension to it."

At the time of signing for Wigan, Jake was described as 'a future star with real talent'.

And Hewer said they were delighted he was on board.

She added: "Jake is a strong running forward and with his athleticism can also play in the backs.

"He started out his playing career at Wath Brow Hornets where he played from a young age.

"All at the Brow knew Jake had the quality and attitude to make it in rugby league.

"Jake's commitment and attitude were often commented on. From training to game day he always gave 100 per cent.

"And he was rewarded for all his commitment with a call up to the England Academy in 2015."
