Featherstone Rovers are pleased to confirm the signing of James Glover on a deal until the end of 2027.
Glover, who has been a top Championship centre for many years, joins the Rovers with immediate effect, adding competition to the threequarter line.
The centre has most recently played at Sheffield Eagles whilst also plying his trade with York Knights and Dewsbury Rams in the past.
Glover came through the Rovers Scholarship system and is delighted to be back at the Club.
”This Club means a lot to me and my family. Playing for Featherstone is something I’ve always wanted to do since I was 14-year old. I came through the scholarship here and signed my first professional contract at this Club. I can’t wait to represent Featherstone Rovers.”
Rovers Head Coach, Paul Cooke, added:
“We’re delighted to welcome James to our club. James is a player that myself and the coaching staff have admired from his time at Sheffield and York.
A Featherstone local who is, in our opinion, one of the very best championship centres.
James will add experience to our group and will certainly help improve others within the group with how he trains and plays.
Defensively, James is tough to play against and with the ball in hand, he’s a handful for opposition defences.
We as a staff believe he will challenge us to be better, which we welcome, it is important to us as a staff to improve and help every player improve too.
We are all excited to have James on board and look forward to him adding positively to a team that we are confident can climb the league table in the remaining games of 2025.”
