Speaking on his return, Mamo expressed his excitement, saying, “I’m really excited to join the Hurricanes and play some rugby again after a couple of years off. I’ve been following them closely for the past couple of years and it’s great to see rugby league growing in the Midlands, so it’s exciting to be a part of this.”
“I am delighted to welcome Jake to the Midlands Hurricanes. Jake and I have been friends for a number of years, and I am certain he will be a fantastic addition to our already impressive squad.”
Hurricanes chair Mike Lomas is equally thrilled to have Mamo on board, stating. Lomas further highlighted Mamo’s impressive background, emphasizing his experience at the top levels of the game in both the NRL and Super League. The Hurricanes chairman believes that Mamo’s knowledge and expertise will be a valuable asset as the club strives to take the team in a new direction.
Mamo is set to arrive in England next week, and fans of the Midlands Hurricanes and rugby league enthusiasts alike will be eagerly anticipating his debut with the club.
