YORK Knights have bolstered their squad with a double loan signing- brining in Adam Jones and Reagan Sumner from Wigan Warriors.

Both Jones and Sumner have joined the club on one-month loan deals from the Betfred Super League side, and will provide much-needed bodies to Andrew Henderson's side.

Jones is able to play at half-back, centre and as a winger, and previously played for Cornwall last year, scoring a try on his first-grade debut against Midlands Hurricanes.

Sumner will provide help at winger or at full-back, with both previously played in Wigan reserves side.

Both the new signings will be available and in contention for Sunday's Betfred Challenge Cup quarter-final clash with Super League outfit Leigh Leopards.

Henderson was delighted to bring in the youthful reinforcements, saying: "It's vitally important for us to bring in players at this moment in time due to our injury situation.

"I've been working tirelessly to speak to Betfred Super League that may have players available.

"I'm really thankful that Wigan have allowed us to bring in Adam and Reagan, two players who train regularly with their first-team and play for their Reserves side.

"This is a huge opportunity for them, coming into this environment at this level.

"Plus, we needed to bring in some fresh bodies to help our own players and give them a lift.

"I've heard some good things about Adam and Reagan, who are two of the older players in Wigan's Reserves side, who train regularly with the first-team, so they won't be unfamiliar with playing and training against men of a certain standard.

"We needed some more cover in the outside backs, so it was important to secure their services.

"We'll have a look at them at training this week and see where they're at ahead of both potentially featuring this weekend."
