Anyone know much about him other than he is a prop from Keighley. Decent try scoring ratio with 8 in 21 appearances.

He's a Bradford lad, and he has an IMDB credit for playing himself on the Super League Show.

Best prop Keighley have/had.
Completely under used by Kly.
You have a very good player coming to you.

Actually did a bit of work in factory at my work. Owner of my company's son played at Keighley with him. Came through Huddersfield academy, left Keighley and played for Bradford and Bingley on the wing. They dropped him to second team as they wanted more out of him came back in and did ok. Keighley signed him back on and done well. I knew about this a few weeks ago didnt know if it was going to come off. They were watching video clips of Johnny Walker and impressed with what they saw of Ross. Time will tell and needs to get himself fit

Seems to have been used as a sub by Keighley. When I've heard commentary on the radio on Keighley games he gets plenty of praise.

Whether he's good enough for us remains to be seen.

From wing to prop! That's quite a change of play style lol.
Literally know nothing about this guy, but he's young and that's an impressive try scoring ratio for a prop - even if it is in league 1.
If those pics of him are recent then he needs to lose a bit of timber but his age and the full time switch should help with this.

We needed front rowers and we've got one. Time to put some faith in Rohan I think.

It's hard not to compare the signing to that of the likes of Johnny Campbell. On paper, it doesn't come across as the most exciting signing ever.

But I'm always willing to give anyone a fair crack until I've seen them play, so I'm not going to knock him yet.

And hey, we signed Mitch Clark from a relegated Championship team, and he's done OK.

This was my thought too. Sounds similar to Clark that he runs the ball in hard. Hopefully he'll be the type to come on and skittle a few bodies all over the place. Looks a unit.

I do think Jonny Campbell is a good enough player if he can get back to how he was when he was at Batley before his injury.
