💥Re-Signing News!💥

Here's some good news ahead of the weekend...... Tom Clough has re-signed for 26/27.

Tom is one of those rare players who can run through you, round you, or just chip over you for fun and he showed all of it when he won last year’s Try of the Season.

He’s already grafting hard ahead of our Nat 2 campaign, and you can follow his progress (and his weekly fitness challenges that are pushing the rest of the lads) on his new Insta page:

And there’s a double boost…
Tom re‑signing means we also get regular appearances from his mum, Bev the legend behind the incredible action shots you see every week.
Check out her page Bev Clough Photography

Want to take part in Cloughys fitness challenges or appear in Bev's action shots? Drop us a message. Preseason training starts 23rd June.

💥Re-Signing News!💥

Oh yes this is a big one! We are pumped to announce that Ben Stringer, the most popular player at the club (and quite possibly all of Calderdale) has re‑signed for the 2026/27 season.

A fan favourite, a dressing‑room favourite, a coach’s favourite, the oppositions favourite … basically everyone’s favourite.
Ben brings energy, graft, and personality every single week and he celebrates it all the only way he knows how: with an ice‑cold Bud Light after the game.

He was even the star of our April Fools’ joke this year, when we “announced” a statue of him being erected at North Dean.
The best part? People placed ticket orders for the unveiling.

That’s the level of love this lad has. Stringermania is staying.

If you want to be sink a few Bud Lights with Ben drop us a message. Preseason training starts 23rd June.

Cheerio Paddy!

Unfortunately Alex Patrick won’t be with us next season as he’s moving up to Nat 1 to play for Sheffield RUFC.

After returning from a serious injury in 2023 he has been at the heart of our recent success. Also a key member of the squad socially he will be missed at the Heath PDC!

All the best Paddy and thanks for your efforts at Heath!

Welcome to Sheffield RUFC, Alex Patrick! 🏉

We're thrilled to announce the signing of Alex Patrick ahead of the 2026/27 season!

Alex joins us from Heath RUFC where he was a key forward in their North Premier title winning campaign last season. He will add size, strength and depth to our forward pack moving into National One.

Welcome, ‘Paddy’!

The man, the myth, the legend.... Carrick Keighley-Payne has resigned for 26/27 season!

After returning to rugby following years away from the game, Carrick didn’t just ease back in, he tore into it. A huge presence for the Hawks, he quickly became an integral part of the squad and was deservedly named September Player of the Month.

On the field he was a star.
Off the field… an even bigger one.
(If you saw his Eminem performance in Stars in Your Eyes, you already know.)

Carrick’s energy, personality, and impact on the group have been massive and we can’t wait to see him kick on again this season.

If you want to be alongside Carrick as he gets stuck into Yorkshire 2, drop us a message. Preseason training starts 23rd June.

💥Re-Signing News!💥

We're pleased to confirm that Josh Beck has re‑signed for the 2026/27 season.

One of the most exciting young talents at the club, Josh enjoyed a breakout year starring for the Hawks, making eye‑catching appearances for the 1st XV, and earning the Breakthrough Player of the Year award for 2025/26.

His work rate, physicality, and rapid development have made him one of the club’s brightest prospects, and we’re looking forward to see him kick on again next season.

If you want to be part of the squad, drop us a message. Preseason training starts 23rd June.

The Tunisian Tank is rolling into Nat 2!

Bank holiday weekend, the sun is coming out to play and we can also reveal that Saif Boussaada isn't done yet!

Probably the most passionate lad at the club with crowd‑lifting, defence‑wrecking carries. Tunisian international Saif is one of the biggest fan favourites at the club.

Let the carnage continue!

If you want to be part of the squad, drop us a message. Preseason training starts 23rd June.
