NATHAN Conroy has become Cougars' sixth new signing following the recent appointment of Craig Lingard as head coach.

The former Bradford hooker progressed through the youth ranks at Odsal and made his Super League debut against Huddersfield in September 2013.

He has spent the past season at Dewsbury and will bolster Keighley’s options around the ruck following the addition of Oxford hooker Nathan Kitson.

Since Lingard succeeded Paul March at the end of the season, he has signed Ben Sagar, Sean Hesketh, Davey Dixon, Mike Emmett, Kitson and Conroy.
