Barrow Raiders can confirm that centre Rio Corkill has joined neighbours Whitehaven ahead of the 2024 season.
Corkill joined the Raiders ahead of the 2023 Betfred Championship campaign from St Helens.
The Nigeria international made his competitive debut in the club’s Round 1 opener against Toulouse Olympique and went on to feature 13 times in total, scoring three tries.
Having initial signed on a 12-month deal, an offer was made to extend Corkill’s stay at the Matt Johnson Prestige Stadium. However, he decided that he would perhaps get more regular opportunities elsewhere, and we fully respect his decision.
We wish Rio all the best for his future career.
The Raiders have already moved to bolster their outside back ranks, with former Salford Red Devils man Matty Costello joining ahead of the new season.
Further additions to our 2024 playing squad will be announced in the coming weeks.
