A Surprising Turn of Events: Former St Helens Target Now Plays for an Amateur Side
In the thrilling Challenge Cup, community clubs across the sport battled for a chance to advance and face Super League giants. One of the most intriguing matches was the West Yorkshire derby between Stanningley and Dewsbury Moor, where Stanningley emerged victorious with a dramatic comeback, winning 26-24 despite playing with just eleven players on the field.
However, the real intrigue lay in the starting lineup of Dewsbury Moor. Levi Edwards, a former Leeds Rhinos academy player and recent York Knights signing, took center stage. His presence on the amateur team's roster was surprising, given his recent links to St Helens, a Super League powerhouse.
Last year, St Helens expressed interest in securing Edwards' services, but the move never materialized. Now, without a club for the upcoming season, Edwards finds himself playing at the community level, a stark contrast to his previous aspirations.
The 22-year-old's journey began when York paid a transfer fee to secure his services in 2022. Unfortunately, serious injuries limited his appearances to just 20, during which he scored seven tries. His future remains uncertain, but for now, he continues to shine in the community game.
