Warrington captain Stefan Ratchford turns 35 in July but is only now becoming centre of attention.
Not in the sense of being an influential player: he’s been that for most of his 12 year career with the Super League leaders. But the ex-England international, who’s starred either as an attacking full-back or stand-off, is for the first time now actually regularly playing centre. And as unbeaten Wolves bid to make it seven successive wins against Hull on Saturday, it looks like Ratchford has played that position all his life.
He told Mirror Online: “It is a bit weird I’ve never really been there full-time before. I’ve played there in fits and starts, the odd few games here and there. But this is my first proper crack, where I know I’m going to be playing centre for an extended run more times than I’m not.
