"There's a proud Bramley tradition in the family," explained Robin "and I'm looking forward to maintaining that over the next few months.

"It was one of the reasons why I decided to move to the Buffaloes from Queens," added the Headingley-based plasterer who joined Queens from Milford six years ago after taking up the game aged ten.

The Buffaloes can clinch the Minor Premiership Co-operative Conference title on Sunday, August 23 (2.30pm kick off) with victory over Featherstone Lions at Stanningley.

"It's great to be joining such a successful team and I hope I can play some small part in helping the side to reach and win the Grand Final in October," added Robin.

Bramley coach Mark Butterill told Bramley Today: "Robin is an accomplished loose forward or second row and gives us real strength in depth as we approach the business end of the season.


"We want to see a good crowd behind us on Sunday for what is a final home game of the regular season against a team in Featherstone Lions that will present a major challenge," added the Buffaloes chief.
