Roller coaster ride to Devils for Brierley

FEW have experienced the ups and downs rugby league can deliver quite like Ryan Brierley.

Roller coaster ride to Devils for Brierley

The 29-year-old has seen plenty during his career. Released as a teenager by Castleford, he enjoyed an incredibly successful spell at Leigh Centurions before an ugly exit and an eventual move to Super League.

His next move took him to League 1, then the Championship, back to Leigh, a return to Super League with Hull KR and then a third spell with the Leythers, where he became the club’s second-greatest try-scorer of all time but ultimately suffered relegation.

But now he’s back in Super League again, this time with Salford, the club he grew up supporting as a boy and a club that saw him fall in love with the game.

It’s been quite the ride for the Preston native, but one that will now continue with the fairytale move at his boyhood club.
