Gavin Rodden made an immediate impact in Swinton's second-row after arriving from North Wales Crusaders ahead of the 2023 season, in which he made 18 appearances and scored two tries. Having suffered a couple of injury setbacks the club feels there is still plenty more to come from Gav, and they're delighted that he has chosen to stay with the Lions going into the 2024 season! Gavin said: “I’m happy to sign again for another year, especially after a stop-start season personally with injuries. I’m looking forward to getting fit and hopefully cement my place in the team, then having a good season with all the lads and aiming to finish as high as possible in next year’s Championship!” Photo: EmilyShootsRugby About The Club Swinton Lions Rugby Club, based in Swinton, Greater Manchester, is a historic rugby league team with a rich legacy in the sport.
