"I've been in sport a long time and the fitness and teaching side has always interested me. Gaining this qualification whilst I'm still playing will be really useful and I'll look into completing higher levels to enable me to lead on to other things."
Steven Broomhead, Wolves Chairman, reiterated these points. "It is good to see that so many of our players are looking ahead to their careers after rugby league. The club happily supports any player who would like to invest in their future by gaining qualifications."

Big well done to the guys. I really think it is excellent that our players are doing things like this, and that the club is supporting them. Being a professional athlete is a short career and players do need to plan for the future. Well done all round!
