Warrington dismiss Eastmond rumours

Correspondent

Warrington have dismissed speculation linking them to St Helens half back Kyle Eastmond.

Eastmond, 21, has been heavily linked with a switch to rugby union but the Wolves had been rumoured to be considering an offer to tempt him to remain in the league.

But, speaking to Warrington Worldwide, a club source dismissed the reports as “pure media speculation”.

He said: “Warrington Wolves get linked with so many players and the club is at its salary cap.”

The England international has one year left on his contract at St Helens, and held talks with Bath in December about a cross-code switch.
