In this day and age of rugby league, when players retire or step down from playing duties, more often than not, they are rewarded with an off-field role in some capacity – and for former Wakefield Wildcats player Ryan Hudson, he is in that boat.
The 32-year old, who recently retired from the Superleague, has been appointed as the new Youth Development Manager at Wakefield, a role that he is looking forward to.
Hudson is a qualified personal trainer, sports nutritionist and clinical hypnotherapist.
“I am really excited about the future,†said Hudson.
“I am looking forward to helping the kids and working with the youth development to see them develop into full-time, first-team players which will be great.â€
