Ben was with the Wildcats scholarship scheme from the age of 12 until around 16. He wanted to concentrate on studies and was then picked up by Cas after been sought after by a couple of other super league clubs.
He had a couple of years at Cas (never mind) but rejected their offer to come back part time at Wakey to prove he had the wherewithall to break into super league.
Lets hope he continues to progress as he has done to date.
