Rugby, Australian Football: Barnet joins Widnes

Widnes Vikings have followed up the signing of Gray Viane and Jamie Durbin with the capture of Hull winger Richie Barnett. The 23-year-old Barnett scored 14 tries in 20 appearances for Hull after joining them from Gateshead last season but has made only one appearance so far this year. Barnett has moved to the Halton Stadium initially on a month's loan but with a view to signing a longer deal. Viane has joined the Vikings from St Helens for the full season while Warrington scrum-half Durbin is on a month's loan.
