Written by Steve Hardisty | Oct 15, 2024 8:12:25 AM

We caught up with former Castleford, Bradford and Hull prop Andy Lynch recently when he returned to the UK on holiday to visit family and friends, five and a half years after emigrating to Australia with his wife and children.

 

Andy, who retired in 2017, made 506 senior appearances during his illustrious 19-year career, which included caps for both England and Great Britain.

 

 

 

In his conversation with Steve Hardisty, Andy chats about the highs and lows of his playing career, his transition from the sport, the challenges and opportunities faced when moving to Australia, and shares his thoughts on why younger players should consider gaining rich experience by playing Down Under.
