Alex Wilkinson
Centre/Wing/Back Row
Oldham-born Alex played his early rugby with
Royton Tigers and toured with GB schoolboys to
Australia in 1999 and with England academy to
New Zealand and Australia in 2001. Super League
giants Bradford Bulls snapped
him up and, while at Odsal, he had a loan spell
with London Broncos, where he played six times
in Super League. He then moved on loan to
Huddersfield, where he added another 13 Super
League games to his tally.
He played a similar number while on loan to Hull
FC, who offered him a two-year contract.
However, Alex wanted to complete his degree and
with
part-time rugby the only option he chose his
hometown club.
Injuries dealt him some cruel blows in 2006, but
Roughyeds didn't hesitate
to offer him another deal for 2007. Roughyeds
thought they had lost their man when he joined
the Police, but in February 2008 he was able to
put pen to paper on a new deal to November 2008.
