The professional game just isnt as appealing as its made out to be, I dont know him personally but seen him play and hes quality but if he doesnt want to make the step up its his decision and its one that a lot of people are taking.

pengy has calmed down a lot in last few months as he has realised that going out on a saturday night getting blind drunk isnt the way forward and realises that he has a talent that could possibly see him go far in the game with the right guidance from a proffessional club coupled with his desire to improve and better himself in the game its only a matter of time before someone takes a chance on him .

To be fair, a lot of the SL players follow that lifestyle so it may not hinder him as much as he thinks.

What position does he play?

Stand off/half back.

The problem is though that the clubs aren't offering worthy contracts to non-1st team squad members. There are lads at Wigan who are out of pocket each week by the time they've travelled to and from training. Hardly a big incentive is it.
