“Sammut, a proud dual code Maltese international who most recently has been with Cumbrian rivals Barrow Raiders enjoyed a very productive period at Town in 2015 whilst on loan and then after signing permanently in 2016 made 37 appearances and scored 33 tries as he became a huge fan favourite.
“He then went on to play for Leigh, Wigan and London before his stint at Barrow Raiders and his career record shows a return of over 1700 points from just over 300 games to highlight the points potential he will bring to the Workington Town squad.
“Sammut’s signing adds significant impact to Town’s preparations ahead of what is going to be very competitive 2024 Betfred League 1 division and fuels the ambition of the club to be pushing at the top end of the table.
