Leigh's Oli Holmes opens up on "disappointing" ending with Warrington chief Daryl Powell

Warrington reject Oli Holmes insists he has “no hard feelings” towards boss Daryl Powell as he begins life at Leigh.

The one-time England international was cut by Wolves in October, just 12 months into a three-year deal. He was one of numerous players cleared out after the big-spending club endured an embarrassing 2022, finishing second-bottom in Super League. But it was particularly hard for the industrious second-row given he’d moved with Powell from Castleford where they’d enjoyed a close relationship and plenty of success.

Speaking publicly about the split for the first time, Holmes - who scored three tries in 24 Wolves appearances - insisted: “We’re all adults at the end of the day. We sat down, had a conversation and they explained the reasons. I accepted those reasons and we moved separate ways. Obviously, I was a little disappointed it came to an end with mine and Powelly’s relationship."
