The Kingstone Press Championship season kicks off on Sunday at Heywood Road with London Broncos the visitors. Part five of the squad review completes the Swinton squad which is aiming high.
Luke Waterworth is well known to Lions supporters after joining on loan from Wigan in 2016 following the injury to Anthony Nicholson. Yet another product of the Wigan Academy system, the young hooker made his Super League debut in March last year prior to that move to Swinton.
Waterworth's attitude and desire to improve since joining has impressed John Duffy and that has been reflected by a clear increase in confidence. In pre-season Waterworth has largely shared the hooker role with Sean Kenny.
The fourth hooker in the Swinton squad is Josh Houghton. Like Waterworth, Houghton comes from Super League stock with St Helens and Widnes and at 20-years-old is another young prospect hoping to make a name for himself with the Lions.
Described as a playmaker from acting half, Houghton didn't see a lot of action in pre-season and will be keen to impress in training as he competes for a place in the side with Waterworth, Sean Kenny, and Anthony Nicholson.
Completing the squad is 19-years-old Adam Jones. A back row forward, Jones joins from Salford where he was a member of the under-19s squad. Jones will be looking to develop in a tough environment and learn from more experienced players in the squad.
