The 22-year-old prop, formerly of the Super League champions Leeds Rhinos, quit rugby league at the end of last season to take up the no-holds-barred mix of boxing, wrestling and martial arts but has now signed a new short-term deal with the Roughyeds. L'Anson, who played in all but three of Oldham's 30 games last season, says he is meaner and leaner after training for his new sport and losing 21 pounds in weight. "I'm pleased to be back," said I'Anson, who also played for the then Celtic Crusaders. "[Oldham coach] Tony [Benson] has never been off the phone so I've agreed a deal which will allow me to divide my week between rugby and training for cage fighting. "I developed an interest in it when I was in Thailand in 2007 and I've fancied having a serious go at it ever since." The Oldham chairman Chris Hamilton said: "We wore him down to sign but we know he'll give us everything and we are delighted to have him back." [rainbow]Link[/rainbow]
