Mullally rejects contract offers at the Vikings
The Vikings can today confirm that Anthony Mullally has rejected a number of improved and extended contract offers. Anthony's agent has also expressed his player's desire to go to the open market to test his value.
The Widnes-born forward made his first team debut in 2009 in the 88-0 Challenge Cup-tie victory against Saddleworth Rangers, playing his part in the biggest victory recorded in the club's history.
Although this was Anthony's only senior appearance for the Vikings at the time, he did gain further valuable first team exposure during a successful loan spell at Swinton in 2010 where he scored two tries in his six appearances.
Mullally also benefitted from a ground-breaking venture by the Vikings when he spent 2011 with the Brisbane Broncos. Upon his return from overseas, the 20 year-old was rewarded with an upgraded one-year deal.
Thus far in 2012, Mullally has made 8 substitute appearances for the Vikings.
Vikings Director of Rugby Paul Cullen said; "We are satisfied that all efforts to create a clear pathway to Super League and to improve and extend Anthony's contract have been maximised.
"However, we have to respect a player's wish to seek other offers."
So even one of our bright prospects doesn't even want to play for us, where do we go now?
