AUSTRALIAN second-rower Darcy Simpson admits his move to Rochdale Hornets has been a seamless one - and says he is ready to help take the club to the next level.

Alongside brother Elijah, Darcy's move to the club was confirmed back in mid-April.

He previously featured in Betfred League 1 for Cornwall but, following their demise and subsequent withdrawal from the competition, returned home to Australia.

However, when the opportunity arose to return to the UK with Rochdale, the second-rower had no hesitation.

“It’s been an eventful few weeks for myself,” he said.
