Whitehaven Rugby League are today excited to announce the signing of hometown half back Jamie Doran from near neighbours Workington Town.

Doran (27) has signed a 1 year contact at the LEL Arena which will seen him wear the Chocolate, Blue and Gold for the first time after nearly a decade in the professional game.

Having come through the Wigan academy ranks he made his debut for the Warriors in a derby defeat vs St Helens going on to make one further appearance for the Warriors that season.

Since then Jamie has made 186 appearances for Workington Town since 2015 and was instrumental in the side’s 2021 play-off success which seen Workington compete in the Championship in 2022.

But after 8 seasons at Derwent Park he has made the decision to move to his hometown club having being born in the town and played junior rugby at Kells before being signed to Wigan’s academy.

The club would once again like to thank Shaun Drinkwater, Simon Taylor and the Vice President’s for their time, dedication and efforts in their fundraising to support us and making the signing happen. A massive thank you to the supporters who back these individuals and groups in their fundraising efforts and help us to take the field.

Jamie is a fantastic player and he’ll give 100% for our club.  I’m chuffed he’s finally come to us after many years at Town.  Great signing for us.

Great business from the Club, Firstly Jamie is local, secondly he’s got a very good rugby brain and will direct and lead the team around the park. Excellent kicking game and can play across the team, Stand off, Hooker, loose Forward ,  he’s had numerous good games against us in the past.
Looking forward to seeing Jamie in the 🟤🔵🟡
Good luck marra 👍

I’m willing to give the lad a chance I think we all know how good he can be on his day let’s hope he can solve our half back problem of recent years is it gonna be Dixon and Doran for half this year then?

Not seen a lot of Doran (although there does seem a lot to see!) but cant see him at hooker or Eaves Phillips or Newton. More important will be the replacement for Williams and getting Dixon, Graham, Holiday and a full back on board (What is the odds of Broadbent) Unless we have some other overseas signings in the pipeline but, if this is the case. a contract with a year 2 option for the club to prevent another Halifax fishing trip!
