Widnes sign forward Alex McMillan

The 27-year-old moves to the DCBL Stadium having left Prescot Cables earlier this week, reuniting with James McCulloch and manager Dave Dempsey, who was a teammate of McMillan's during the Widnes boss' playing days.

"Macca is a great addition to the strong squad we are building here," Dempsey said.

"He's someone I've worked with previously and a player I know will hit the ground running, adding an abundance of quality in the final third.

"Alex will be great to have around the lads, and I can't wait to work with him again.

"I'm looking forward to him playing his part on our journey this season."
