Donning a Fax shirt ideal finale for Gareth

- DAVE CRAVEN

AFTER being an NRL Grand Final winner and England star, Gareth Widdop admits it’s bizarre now preparing to play for part-timers Halifax.

He’s featured with Aussie legends Cameron Smith and Billy Slater at Melbourne Storm, shone alongside Sam Burgess and Kevin Sinfield for England and graced Super League.

But the 34-year-old reckons there’s no better way to round off his glorious career than running out with his hometown club.

Widdop, who emigrated Down Under aged 12, retired after leaving Castleford in October.
