The former Leeds Rhinos man joined Trinity from Leigh last year and has signed a new contract for the 2024 Betfred Championship season.

“Liam is one of those players who binds a group together,” Powell said of the Scotland international. “He has great leadership skills, is skilful and is a tough and uncompromising defender.
