“The sport of rugby league has been very good to me. The support I received from the RFL, in particular Emma Rosewarne, was brilliant and really helped me on my road to recovery.

“I’ve now been offered a second chance and it’s up to me to make sure I grab it with both hands.

“I was playing at the highest and most consistent level I’ve ever competed at four or five years ago and I was loving every minute of it.

“During my time at Hull Kingston Rovers I managed to draw attention from Australia and even spoke to Melbourne Storm, but I decided to see out my contract at Hull. Chris Chester was very supportive of me and that helped massively.

“I got the move to St Helens and then eventually Wakefield, both of whom are great Super League clubs.

“I was also in the Scotland national side on a regular basis and for that to slip away because of a silly decision while at Wakefield was massively disappointing, but it has only made me hungrier now to turn things around and strive to get back to where I want to be.”
