Agoro wings it to Hawks

Date published: 09 October 2014


FLYING winger Mo Agoro has signed for Hunslet Hawks.

Agoro’s Oldham contract expired at the end of the Kingstone Press Championship One campaign. The 21-year-old Leeds Rhinos youth product enjoyed two successful years with the Roughyeds, but has now been snapped up by his former club’s Championship One Grand Final conquerors.

Leeds-based Agoro said: “Hunslet is a great club who are progressing every year, and I’m looking forward to being a part of it. I’ll be excited to get the chance to play in the new-look Championship for my new club.”

Hawks’ Director of Rugby Darren Williams said: “It’s a great opportunity for Mo, joining his local team and playing at a higher level.”

Agoro scored 18 tries for Oldham last season — three fewer than Oldham’s top scorer Dale Bloomfield — but he fell out of favour in the final few games before the Grand Final decider. He was one of five nominees for the Championship One young player-of-the-year award.
