Featherstone’s interim head coach Ryan Sheridan said: “Having lost several players recently due to injury and Vince Mellars being available we wanted to ensure that we were not caught short in vital positions. We look forward to welcoming Vince to our squad and I am sure he will make a positive impact.”
