Whitehaven Rugby League are delighted that announce the loan signing of Brett Bailey on an initial 2 week loan deal from Betfred Super League side St Helens.
Bailey (20) is the current reserve player of the year for saints and appeared for Saints in 2024 pre-season encounters against Salford and Swinton crossing for a try against the Lions.
Head coach Jonty Gorley had spoke about his want for an extra middle following the Championship defeat against Sheffield last time out and spoke about the addition of Bailey saying “We've secured a young front row from St Helens called Brett Bailey, on a two week loan deal, he won their reserve player of the year last season and featured in this year's pre season games with the first team.
He comes highly recommend from Mike Rush who said he'll do a job in the championship. Brett is 20 years old and is known for his strong running game.
I'd just like to thanks St Helens and Mike Rush in particular for coming to our aid. Ash kilpatrick has again worked hard helping us get more strength in depth in regards to middle players.”
Bailey will go right into consideration for this week’s clash with Batley at the Ortus Rec in Round 4 of the Betfred Championship. Kick off 3pm on Sunday afternoon.
