Steve Mcbanana and James Lowes should have never retired from playing irrespective of their age and performance.

What they've written about him isn't the easiest thing to follow but he did play on after breaking his leg, about 18 times for Trin and then back to Wharfedale (vast majority of his career is Union, just a handful of League really). Then after a car accident his life has taken an awful turn for the worst.

So so sad. On what should have been one of the best nights of a young blokes life, that shocking injury seemes to have been followed by terrible misfortune.

I wonder if both the Bulls and Wakey are aware? You would think they would want to do something to raise awareness and help him out.

I'm not been awful for the sake of it but the fundraising page is absolute gibberish. If someone could set out the lads pedigree in both codes and his plight afterwards surely the Rugby community will step up and help. I like to think we would.

The gofundme page is no longer there. I remember him being super pacy and thinking he had something special, and I remember the tannoy announcement that he'd been taken to hospital and would like his mum to join him. I was sad that he never made it back to playing first team at Bradford, but I am absolutely gutted to hear what has happened subsequently. If anyone has a link to an up to date gofundme or anything similar, please do share it here or PM me.

I donated £10 but got given a refund a few days later. No reason given
