BARROW Raiders are delighted to announce the re-signing of France international Hakim Miloudi for the 2022 Championship season.

The former Toronto Wolfpack and Hull FC centre originally signed with the club in May, joining from Palau Broncos in the French Elite Championship.

The 28-year-old has won five caps for France, as well as featuring in the World Cup 9s, and will be back at the Matt Johnson Prestige Stadium in 2022.

“It’s a pleasure to re-sign for Barrow Raiders for 2022,” he said.

“I’m really proud to continue this adventure with the boys and the staff after all the work we’ve done together last year, especially winning the trophy in League 1.

“The decision to stay with Barrow was easy for me because all the players, the staff, the fans and all at the club make me feel comfortable and welcome.

“It’s my second family now.

“We have a new challenge for this season and I can’t wait to be back at training to work hard on it. I hope we will have amazing feelings at the Matt Johnson Prestige Stadium with all the fans again.

“The best I can wish for is the top six to feature in the plays-offs and see what happens from there.

“My objective at the end of the season is to play the World Cup for the French team, and to make it possible I need to play my best rugby all season with Barrow.”

Head coach Paul Crarey said: “Hakim brings a little bit of X-factor to our attack.

“His partnership with Tee is already a massive hit with the fans and they are a threat to the opposition from anywhere on the pitch.

“Hakim is excited by the way we play and the atmosphere the club creates on a match day.

“He made it clear he wanted to stay and the club have done the business by re-signing him.”
