HUDDERSFIELD, Salford and Swinton are among the Rugby League clubs to have paid tribute to Andrew Farrell, who used his in-depth knowledge of mixed martial arts to instruct players in contact and tackling technique.
Farrell, who was from Huddersfield, ran an MMA club in the town and once appeared on the popular TV show Gladiators, in which contestants pit themselves against the show's specialists in a series of physical events, has died aged 53.
