Three more players to leave Halifax RLFC

News that winger Jodie Broughton, full-back Reece Chapman-Smith and veteran hooker Tommy Lee are to leave comes hot on the heels of Steve Tyrer's departure from the club, also announced this week.

Head Coach Simon Grix told the club's website: "Tommy would have been a great addition I am sure for the 2020 season and fit in seamlessly in his short time with us. Unfortunately, circumstances have made this decision and we wish him all the best.

"Jodie was a very tough call but again, the circumstances mean we couldn't get him in. He was great in a short period, showing a glimpse of what we signed him for. He is a great bloke and his experience, whether playing or in another capacity, will make him an asset to the game should he continue.

"Reece has been a pleasure to have at the club over the last couple of years. For a few reasons, some out of his control, it has meant that game time has been limited. And for him to further develop and enjoy his rugby, he needs to be playing regularly. He goes with our best wishes."
