It's not in China - there's a big market for human organs.
A very sad situation and I can't help but think clubs should be doing more.
If you compare it to football we are light years behind. Leeds United's academy have teachers and ensure that young players have a degree.
James Milner studied for a PHD in Geology before breaking into the first team. Now he splits his time between playing for Liverpool and the oil rig that he bought with Mo Salah.

I know it’s not football. How many superleague players do you think there are that own an oil rig? I reckon it’s zero.
That said the principle is still the same. Take someone like Brian McDermott. Very clever man and had coaching not worked out for him he’d have been fine thanks to the glass blowing course he took when he was playing at Bradford.

I doubt very much Milner and Salah own an oil rig.

I never been a high earner but wasn't lowly paid and made provisions at a young age not knowing that I'd end up short of my retirement date not being able to work, luckily I should be ok but it was in them days fed into you to get a pension its sorted as it's harder the older you get. If players ignore their future it's hardly the club's fault

| None of us know when our body will pack up and render us unable to work. It's not just rugby league players that need a plan for the future, we all do.

| Jon Wilkin had the foresight to learn how to artificially inseminate pigs. He may not need to now a media career beckons but there's no reason why other players shouldn't turn their interests into a business in the same way.

Brian Carney is trained as an iron monger.

| Wasn't there an article on 'boots n all' some years ago showing clubs putting the players through the local colleges on plumbing, electric....type courses?
How long does a professional rugby player train each day?

One of the requirements of playing for Bradford in those days was that you attended a food hygiene course run by Brian Noble. Aside from Rugby league and policing the streets, it’s his biggest passion.
It’s one of the reasons Jamie Peacock went to Leeds. He had a disagreement with Noble arguing the regulations didn’t go far enough on the kind of hand soap you can use in food prep.

Although you are right, most of us need a plan for if we become unable to work. However, we hope that the day will never arrive and that we will, one day be able to retire.
For professional sportsmen and women, it's not a maybe.
There career will hopefully wind down as their bodies get older and they lose their pace/strength but, it will happen, probably in their mid 30's and every player should be thinking about what comes next.
A select few will be able to stay in the game in coaching or management but, the vast majority will have to get a "proper" job at some point.

| Perhaps this is why we see a growing number of tv channels showing football & football discussion & highlight programmes in order to provide jobs for ex players.
