Luke Nelmes to leave Dewsbury Rams for old club Oldham

The prop joined the Rams in the latter part of the 2019 season, making three appearances for Lee Greenwood’s side.

He has previously played for Oldham and Halifax, playing 27 matches for the Roughyeds in the 2018 season.

Nelmes featured for Dewsbury in their last league outing before the Championship campaign was cancelled, as the Rams recorded a 24-6 victory over Oldham.

“I do have unfinished business to do at Oldham and I can’t wait to get back and get cracking. The fans at Oldham are brilliant. I loved my time there in 2018,” said Nelmes of his move across the Pennines.

“At the end there were a few issues away from rugby, but I’ve got my head back on now and I think I’ve got a point to prove. That’s what I intend to do.

“All being well, we’ll be back in proper training in November and I can’t wait, I’ll tell you.”

Oldham head coach Matt Diskin added: “He’s a massive handful for any opposing pack. I’m delighted he’s coming back to Oldham. He’ll be a massive addition for us in 2021.

“He needs no introduction to Oldham fans, who know all about him from 2018. He now wants to improve on what he did for the club back then, in terms of attending to what he calls ‘unfinished business’.”
