After 16 incredible years in Rugby League, it’s time to step away from the game that I’ve loved for so long and announce my retirement. Thank you to everyone who’s been a part of this journey!




I’m excited to share my latest publication! This paper offers unique elite stakeholder insights into the tackle event in Rugby League, bridging the gap between the applied and academic environments. I hope this provides some great insights for readers! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17…
