Mickey Diveney

Sponsored by Pizza Hut Oldham

Age 23, born Oldham. Squad number 7. Sponsored by Pizza Hut, Oldham. One of many locally-born players signed on contract for 2011. A Waterhead junior, he was on scholarship at Wigan Warriors before returning to his amateur club from where he joined John Hough’s Roughyeds Reserves squad in 2010.

A key member of the side that reached the reserve league play-offs, he impressed in general play as well as goalkicking and did enough to earn himself a pro contract and elevation to the senior squad in 2011, quickly establishing himself as a first-team regular.
