A former rugby league star has died at the age of 40.
Ricky Bibey died while on holiday, one of his former clubs has said. The former St Helens and Wigan Warriors prop-forward burst onto the scene in 2001, and today former clubs paid tribute to the player, who was forced to retire through injury in 2012.
During a memorable career for the likes of Leigh Centurions and Wakefield Trinity, the Leigh-born player twice won the Challenge Cup. Wakefield shared a touching tribute on social media.
