Salford big hitter Ollie Partington is back - but the mullet isn't.
The tough loose forward, 24, returns to action against Castleford on Thursday after missing the last five games through injury. Following his move from Wigan, Partington was one of Super League’s most eye-catching performers in the early rounds. And not just because of the distinctive mullet hairstyle worn by him and team-mates Shane Wright and Amir Bourouh.
But Partington has cut it off ahead of his comeback. He said: “Originally, I grew it as I fancied a change as I’d had this haircut since I was about 10 or even younger. I like country music, mostly American stuff like Morgan Wallen, and a lot of them have mullets so it probably came from that.
