Captain Craig Hall leaves Toronto Wolfpack, citing family reasons
TORONTO — In a surprise move, captain Craig Hall has left the Toronto Wolfpack for Leigh Centurions.
The transatlantic rugby league team said the 29-year-old English centre, named player of the year in the Kingstone Press League 1 in 2017, has been granted an early release from his Toronto contract.
“Craig has asked for a release for family reasons and we will always listen to our players in that situation,” Wolfpack coach Paul Rowley said in a statement.
“This will be a challenging season for us in 2018 and we need a squad fully committed to the cause so, although disappointing to lose Craig in these circumstances, we will move on with our fantastic squad of players.”
