With the permanent signing of Mason Corbett from the Bradford Bulls and the loan signing of Will Kirby, a promising player from Hull FC, Championship team Hunslet has further strengthened their roster.
With two victories from their first 11 games this season, the Parksiders, who were promoted from League One the previous season, are now in last place in the Championship.
Hunselt adds two new members to the team.
Dean Muir, the head coach of Hunslet, commented on the announcement, saying: “It was important to get Mason committed to 2026 and on board for the remainder of the season.” He works hard at his training and is a good man.
He takes his training seriously and strives to improve with each session, which is something we need. I’m excited to collaborate with him and watch him grow in our setting.
Will Kirby is a Super League back rower who is powerful and combative. He gives our edges more depth and provides punch and a powerful carry.
Hunslet director of rugby, Darren Higgins, added: “These two additions to the squad, along with the recent signings of Lee Gaskell, Lloyd McEwan-Peters and loan deals for Ryan Westerman and Brett Bailey help add both quality and depth to our squad as we approach the second half of the season.
“This depth will help add competition for places, which in turn will help raise standards in training.
“We continue to work hard behind the scenes, looking to add both quality and professional standards that will add to the environment and ultimately team performances.
“Not only are we working hard in relation to the rest of the season but also with recruitment and retention in mind for 2026 and beyond.”
Bradford Bulls and former Leeds Rhinos youngster Corbett has already featured for Muir’s side in 2025, with three loan appearances to his name at the time of writing, and has put pen to paper on a deal until the end of the 2026 season.
Elsewhere, Hull FC youngster Kirby heads to the South Leeds Stadium until the end of the season.
The duo also follow Ryan Westerman and Brett Bailey in joining the club in the past two weeks.
