Fullback Jonny Woodcock may have signed a new two-year deal but who will line up in front of him is in the melting pot.

Centre James Ford is heading for Super League Castleford Tigers. Ford was the club top try scorer for two of his three seasons at Don Valley.
This season's top try scorer Danny Mills – with 14 touchdowns – is heading to National League One rivals Widnes Vikings.

There's also speculation that Welsh rugby union clubs are interested in super fast winger Rob Worrincy.

Aston said: "There's no way we can stand in the way of a lad if he gets a Super League chance.

"I'm also resigned to losing Danny Mills who has been made an offer we can't match."

Aston will be hoping to agree a new deal with centre Mike Roby who finished the season strongly with two tries in the 34-28 win over Dewsbury in the final game.

He's also talking to Damien Reid but will seek assurances about his fitness after the centre was left out of the final games.
Keeping goal kicker Woodcock – who has amassed 658 points in three seasons – is a massive boost.

Aston said: "Jonny has been one of the most consistent fullbacks in the competition. He's one of the best in his position.

"Clubs have been trying to get him to talk to them but he's a loyal kid and he loves it here. His decision to sign a new deal is just what we wanted.

"I'll be talking to a few other people in the next week or so – there will be a few fresh faces."
