Trout revealed that coach Neil Kelly had tempted him to return to Tetley’s Stadium and admits he is relishing a fresh challenge having teamed up with the Rams squad for pre-season.

In addition, winger Tom Halliday is aiming to push to become a first team regular following his switch from rugby union to league.

Halliday joined the Rams late last season, after Kelly received a tip from one of the coaches at Goole Rugby Union Club, and the 21-year-old featured in Dewsbury’s 29-22 win over Oldham and the Championship Shield semi-final defeat in Toulouse.

Halliday admits he has been picking up tips from long serving Rams winger Dale Morton, while he will also receive stiff competition for a first team place from new recruit Rob Worrincy, who has joined from Halifax.
