You know much as I try I can’t place him as a Trinity player which is unusual for me. Best of luck to him all the same.

Think he was in our 1st season Super League squad?

I think he played one season for guys in 1999 then went to Union (according to Wikipedia) He played for us in 1997 and suffered an horrendous leg break in one of the last games. By some horrible coincidence he was mentioned in a recent topic about players that retired too early.

PHE, i'll copy and paste the post onto our forum as well if that's OK?

He was a Union player who had a go at RL with Bradford and us but eventually went back. Played a long time for Wharfedale.
I vaguely remember him but he came at a time when we had constant changes of playing rota so hard to place him on the pitch.
He played 18 out of 31 games for us which kept us in Super League so he is a fair piece of our history there.
He played mostly at fullback but some on the wing I think.

I wish him all the best

Re: Andy Hodgson : Sun Jul 12, 2020 7:09 pm  
Just dug out the match programme for our last home game of the 1999 season (Wigan) and the stats show him holding the full back position for the early games before Kenward cemented himself in that slot. After that, a few appearances on the bench and one final start at No.1 late in the season.
