\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Halifax\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Championship side Oldham have landed former Halifax Panthers man Brad Day following the club\u2019s liquidation.<\/p>\n

Day penned a deal with the Panthers<\/a> last month and made three appearances for the West Yorkshire outfit. However, he became a free agent earlier this month when the Panthers entered liquidation following a long-running battle with HMRC.<\/p>\n

Day hasn\u2019t had to spend too long without a club, though, with the forward penning a deal with Oldham until the end of the Championship season. It\u2019s been a difficult period for the 31-year-old, with Day entering the calendar year as Featherstone Rovers player before they were denied a spot in the Championship.<\/p>\n

The back-rower started his career at Castleford Tigers, but he made just one appearance for the club before he joined Batley Bulldogs. He has had two spells with Featherstone as a player, while he also counts Newcastle Thunder as a former club, with his appearance tally totalling 210.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been a funny old month,\u201d Day said after joining the Roughyeds. \u201cWhat happened at Halifax obviously wasn\u2019t the best situation, but I am glad to get something sorted pretty quick.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am pretty sure I will get on well with these boys, and I can\u2019t wait to get ripped in.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like to think I am hard working, I put all my effort out on the field and I run a pretty good line as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know a few of the lads so I already have an understanding of how we play and I am hoping to get on the scoreboard pretty quick.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oldham boss Alan Kilshaw said: \u201cBrad is a real quality player. He has been in the Championship for a number of years now and played in some really good sides.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe offers a bit of punch and strike on an edge and he can also play in the middle, so he is going to add depth to our already strong squad.\u201d<\/p>\n
