Craig Mullen retires
Former Wigan, Leigh and Newcastle utility back Craig Mullen has called time on his career aged just 24.
He told Love Rugby League: “It wasn’t a quick or easy decision. I’ve slowly been falling out of love with the game whilst playing it.
“Speaking right now and being a person who lives in the present, there’s not an awful lot that could pull me back to the game. I’ve had my fun with it and a lot of fun it’s been.
“I’ve got many good memories and there’s been a lot of good people I’ve met along the way.”
Mark Percival testimonial fixture confirmed
St Helens will face Widnes as part of Mark Percival’s testimonial year on January 27, 2023, at the Totally Wicked Stadium.
It will be the club’s only home game until after their World Club Challenge clash with Penrith Panthers.
