Ireland prop forward Matty Hadden has become Oxford RL’s latest recruit.

He made his Ireland debut against England Knights last season, and represented his country in the one-year to the World Cup event in Manchester last October.

Hadden, who can also play second row, played for Antrim Eels in his home country, scoring ten tries in four games last season.

He said: “I am chuffed to join the club and I am glad to be presented with the opportunity. “My aim this season is to play as many games as I can possibly can.”

Meanwhile, Oxford hold their first fans’ forum at Iffley Road Pavilion tonight (6.30).
