A rugby league journeyman who can count St Helens, Hull FC, Leigh, and Bradford Bulls among his former clubs has signed for a new club for 2026.<\/p>\n
Matty Dawson-Jones, who many will remember as Matty Dawson, has made the cross-Championship switch from Sheffield Eagles to Hunslet on a one-year deal.<\/p>\n
Debuting with Huddersfield Giants in 2012, Dawson-Jones made his name at St Helens where he would make 50 appearances across three seasons.<\/p>\n
He\u2019d score 16 tries during that period with a Grand Final win coming in his first year at the club, though he didn\u2019t play in the game at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
The outside back joined Leigh after his time with St Helens, making 42 appearances before a short-lived switch to Hull FC, and then Bradford.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s played the last three seasons with Sheffield Eagles, scoring an impressive 46 tries in 78 games but the 35-year-old has now made the move to join West Yorkshire club Hunslet.<\/p>\n
Former St Helens back Matty Dawson-Jones signs for new club<\/p>\n
Announcing Dawson-Jones as a new recruit, Hunslet noted his time as a Super League winner with St Helens and head coach Kyle Trout hailed that sort of experience.<\/p>\n
On his new recruit, Trout said: \u201cMatty is a great acquisition for us as a Club. He is a quality player with a lot of experience at the highest level of the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to seeing him bring his own touches to our environment and showcasing his capabilities on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dawson-Jones said: \u201cI am really happy to have signed for the Club for the upcoming 2026 season and i can\u2019t wait to get started.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am going into an environment that\u2019s going through big changes and i am excited to be part of that.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a young staff with some fresh ideas and lots of hunger and energy for the game and i\u2019m hoping that with my experience i can help as much as i can on and off the field.\u201d<\/p>\n
