Tom Briscoe has revealed how close he came to joining NRL club Cronulla Sharks instead of signing for Leeds Rhinos - but insists he holds no regrets over his decision to walk away from a dream move to Australia.
Briscoe will take on former club Hull FC this Sunday in his testimonial match, celebrating his time at both the Black and Whites and the Rhinos, the two clubs he has played for professionally throughout an illustrious playing career.
But the 31-year-old has admitted he almost signed for the Sharks in 2014 instead of Leeds - before the move collapsed. "At the time, I'd made the decision to leave Hull and I'd made it to go to Australia but that fell through," he revealed.
