Ben Calland has agreed to a new deal for 2021

ROCHDALE Hornets is thrilled to announce that Ben Calland has signed a new deal with the club for the 2021 League 1 season.

Calland, younger brother to head coach Matt Calland, joined the club ahead of the 2020 season from Oldham, and has also featured in scholarship schemes at both St Helens and Wigan Warriors as a youngster.

The centre scored four tries in as many appearances in 2020, including a hat-trick in the Challenge Cup victory over the British Army.

"I really enjoyed the short period of time we had together as a group this season," he said.

"The squad that is being built for 2021 is really impressive and it’s exciting to be a part of a team that will push hard for promotion."

Matt Calland added: "His attitude has been first class since signing with the club.

"He is very strong with ball in hand and is sound defensively.

"I'm expecting a big season from him in 2021."
