21-man squad: Swinton Lions

John Kear has named his 21-man squad ahead of Sunday’s clash with Swinton Lions in Round 16 of the Betfred Championship. 

The Vikings will go in search of a third win of the season against the Lions, having beaten them 48-16 at Heywood Road on Good Friday and then again at the Summer Bash in York last month.

There are three changes to the 21-man squad in total. Ryan Ince and Matt Fleming are both absent, while Brad Holroyd also makes way after the winger recently joined Workington Town on a two-week loan deal.

In to replace them comes Will Tilleke and Ollie Brookes, both of whom have featured on loan at Rochdale Hornets in recent weeks.

Also back in the mix is Leigh Leopards forward Jacob Jones, who has returned to the DCBL Stadium on a month-loan loan.
