Hakim Miloudi admits he is excited to see his partnership with Tee Ritson flourish in the Betfred Championship this season.
The centre-winger duo featured heavily together during the Raiders’ Betfred League 1 title-winning campaign last season following Miloudi’s arrival from Palau Broncos in the French Elite Championship.
Following their step up to the Championship, Miloudi has continued to excel alongside Ritson, who penned a new long-term contract with the club midway through 2021.

Meanwhile, Miloudi has also crossed three times since the 2022 campaign began, and was the recipient of the Player of the Match award thanks to a try and two assists at the DCBL Stadium.
Speaking post-match, the Frenchman admitted he has enjoyed being part of a threatening right edge for the Raiders since arriving in Cumbria.

“I love it,” he said. “I’ve been with him since I signed last year. He’s fast, he’s powerful.
“I like to have a player, a winger, like that near to me because I can step, I can do something and [he will] just finish it.”
