Eatock is in his first season with the Blue Ghosts, but has already made a big impact on the team with tries, and his vocal style of play. Eatock started out his career at well known Wigan amateur side St Jude's, he has covered both full back and half back this season, and hasn't missed a game yet. He is one of the sides top try scorers and is looking set to have a good few years with the Blue Ghosts.

Eatock has similarities to Slater, which is a compliment to say the least. Both players are very vocal full backs in both attack and defence. They also both have the ability to break the line when returning the ball from the kick, and also in open play. Other similarities can be drawn from full backs like Zak Hardaker.
