The Welshman primarily plays at second-row but is able to occupy other positions in the forward pack.

The 23-year-old has been promised plenty of game time through the Rams’ respective partnerships with Super League side Hull KR and League 1 club Coventry Bears.

“Rhys fully deserves to be rewarded after working hard and impressing in training,” said Dewsbury head coach Lee Greenwood.

“Through a combination of playing for us, Coventry Bears on dual registration or for Hull KR reserves, he will get plenty of game time which will see him develop.”

The forward is set to play in the Rams’ next pre-season friendly against Keighley Cougars on January 12.

And Greenwood feels that Davies has the ability to be a regular starter for Dewsbury in the Championship next season.

He added: “I’m looking forward to seeing him play at Keighley in our next friendly and he will be competing for a shirt in the 17 like everyone else.

“He has the potential to play at Championship level if he really wants it.”
