Disappointing to see his career end on these terms, but he's been a great ambassador for the game and will no doubt continue to be so.

Even as a Leeds fan I was cheering for you in last years GF - mainly because he deserved to lift the trophy. No doubt you'll be cheering for us for the same reason this year

Funnily enough, when in my younger days I used to try and chat up good looking women I did notice that they all seemed to have a good turn of pace.

Cracking player in his time . Probably played a season and a half too long .

That explains why they were proper slow in Crystals then.

Have a good retirement Wello. The epitome of a sportsman!!

Well done Wello. You are still a star and you have made a saddened man very happy.

Quality player and nice bloke, good luck for the future.

Remarkable man is Wello, brave as they come on the pitch and a gentleman off it. Those glorious years when he became part of the dynasty playing at the top of his game from 2002 to 2008, he didn,t need electric pace always broke the first tackle and arrived on time to stop what looked like a certain try.

Hope they give him a honourable send off on the home pitch in one of the latter games……….…..he deserves a standing ovation for his loyalty and servitude.

great player always gave his all,good luck paul in whatever you do

all the best for the future from a Rhino's fan. Met him at the 2013 World Cup,what a nice,friendly lad he is .

Just to add to what so many have said on here. Wellens has been a superb ambassador for Saints and a fantastic clubman. All any speccie can ask is that a player gives 100% when he takes to the field. Wellens did that for Saints, a true professional in every respect. Good luck to him in whatever the future holds.
