Sale wing Hanley to switch codes
St Helens
June 19, 2001

Former England rugby union winger Steve Hanley is hoping to play for Super League champions St Helens.

The 22-year-old Sale man, who has been tracked by rugby league clubs since playing as a teenager for Whitehaven's Academy team, will next week take up an offer to train with Ian Millward's all-conquering side and says he is ready to play a competitive game.

He said: ``I don't know if I will get to play in any games - that will be up to Ian Millward - but I have played the game before for Whitehaven Academy so the game would not be strange to me.''

Hanley, whose only England appearance so far came against Wales in 1999, is hoping a spell with the rugby league champions will get his union career back on track after a season disrupted by injury and loss of form.
