“It’s been a privilege to play rugby league professionally for over 13 years! It’s enabled me to play in some of the biggest games and stadiums in our sport and to travel to different places around the world.
“I’ve had the experience to play alongside my brother for club and country which not many people get to do.
“I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has played a part in my rugby journey. Thank you to all my team mates, coaches and back room staff at all my clubs throughout the years.
“Special mentions have to go to Peter Farrell and Brian Chambers for giving me the opportunity to move north to fulfil my dream, I’ll be eternally grateful. Also to my mum and my partner Emma who have both been there through memories I’ll cherish forever and the heartaches when I’ve needed them the most Now it’s time for one book to close and another to open.
“I can’t wait to see how this next story goes.”
