Description
Paul Reilly is a rugby league player who played for the Huddersfield Giants for 11 years until signing for Wakefield Trinity Wildcats for the 2008 season. He plays in the full back position.
Paul was not interested in rugby league as a child and only watched a few Huddersfield matches until a friend at school encouraged him to play for a local amateur side. Paul started playing for Moldgreen Under-14s and discovered a real talent for the game.
He was playing well at Moldgreen and as a result he attended trials at Halifax. They offered him a contract for the following season, but as the 1996 season was only halfway through Paul found himself back at his hometown club where he turned up for training to keep himself fit. After four or five weeks the then coach of Huddersfield Giants, Darryl van der Velde had seen enough and offered him a deal.
Reilly established himself as the first choice full-back at Huddersfield, and he was a stand-out player in both the successful 2002 NFP campaign and then later in the Super League, where his passionate, whole-hearted performances were a key factor in the Giants establishing themselves as a competitive club.
