Whitehaven Rugby League are delighted to announce the signing of Australian utility back Josh Martin having beat off competition in his native country and in the UK to secure his signature on a 12 month deal. 
Comfortable right across the back line Martin is going to offer Jonty

Gorley options in a number of positions ahead of the 2022 Betfred Championship campaign with our season opener under six weeks away.

 
Speaking about his signing head coach Gorley spoke saying “We were on the lookout for an outside back that could cover the back 5 . An agent from Australia, John Taulaga, got in touch with us regarding a young kid called Josh Martin. ………………………….., he’s athletic and his balance is good which makes him hard to tackle when he is carrying the ball, he looks great in the air, which is a positive attacking wise and defensively. When I spoke to Josh and his parents they were all really keen for him to come to us and enjoy the experience in the UK and hopefully he can forge a good career on the back of coming here. I really think Josh can be a surprise package for us and I can’t wait to see him play.”
