A veteran of the 1st XV the brother of a great player...

Name - Matthew James Hoyle

Nickname - Creepy, snake, Steve McDonald

Age - 29 (yeah right)

Position - Fullback, Wing and 9

Best rugby moment - being known as Ben Hoyle's Brother

Worst rugby moment - missing an easy straight kick to win the game in the national cup semi final

Least like to room with on tour - Would of been luke scrimshaw but he's quietened down with old age so I'm going to have to say Matthew Raven for health reasons

Most embarrassing moment - My dad walking in on me mid action at the tender age of 29

Pet hate - Liam Scott laughing to himself when he thinks he's said something funny

Favourite quote - Life's not about how hard of a hit you can give... it's about how many you can take, and still keep moving forward.

Favourite film - Lord of the rings/ Pulp Fiction

Most like to be stuck in a lift with - George Ashton so I can talk him through life and women so hopefully one day he will then at least speak to a women

Karaoke song - Forever in blue jeans

Worst dressed brod - Sam Deacon or as he's also known Mr cheetham hill

Matthew will be looking to make a strong start tomorrow, he has finished terrifying the spectators at the grounds of Halifax's cricket clubs after being slapped all over the park. He will bring a wealth of experience and we can only hope he has picked up a tip or two off his brother in the off season.
