Former Cougars centre Mick Fogerty has returned to rugby league following a drugs ban.

Fogerty has signed for Keighley’s Co-operative Championship One rivals Oldham after serving a three-month suspension for use of cannabis.

The punishment was handed out in January but Fogerty did not return to the sport immediately as a result of “personal issues”.

“I made mistakes and I have learned the lessons,” said Fogerty, who has signed a deal with his home-town club until the end of the 2012 season.
