Featherstone Rovers are delighted to announce that star back rower Brad Day has signed a new three year deal, keeping him at Post Office Road until the end of the 2027 season.
After spending two seasons with the Blue Wall earlier in his career, the 30 year old, who has played over 200 professional games to date, rejoined the club ahead of the 2023 season and enjoyed a stellar year in 2024 in Fev colours.
Virtually ever present for James Ford’s side, Day scored a remarkable 16 tries in 29 appearances as an edge forward and took out both the Coaches and Players’ Player of the Year awards for his efforts on the field this year.
Capable of playing 80 minutes week in week out, Day is one of the most dynamic hole runners in the game, becoming a cornerstone of Rovers left side attack and was instrumental in Featherstone’s successful second half of the year which saw them make the play offs.
Now a leader in the playing group on and off the field, the former Batley man has committed his long term future to Fev and will play a vital role in the strides the club takes in the coming seasons.
Speaking to the club website about his new contract, Day said:
“I absolutely love this club, and everyone involved with it. I never thought about going anywhere else and I’m thrilled to sign a long term deal and have my future sorted.
“For me it’s just about getting out there every week and being consistent. Fortunately, I didn’t miss many games this year and felt the side took huge strides forward as the season went, so I’m excited to see what we can achieve next year and beyond.
Featherstone boss James Ford added: “Re-signing Brad is excellent news for the club. It’s clear for everyone involved with the club to see what a huge impact he has, he was easily one of our best and most consistent performers last year and we’re really happy to sign him up long term.
“Brad has established himself as one of the most damaging backrowers in the Championship in recent seasons and we have no doubt he’ll pick up where he left off and kick on again in Featherstone colours in 2025.”
