A former Bradford Bulls star has pleaded guilty to assaulting his estranged wife after learning she had a new boyfriend.

Stuart Reardon, now a full-back for Warrington Wolves, appeared in the dock at Bradford Magistrates’ Court today alongside former Bulls team-mate Leon Pryce, who pleaded guilty to assaulting Kay Reardon’s boyfriend, Damon O’Brien, during the incident at a flat in Clayton Heights, Bradford, in July last year.

Pryce now plays for St Helens.

Both defendants were ordered by magistrates to return to the court for sentencing on April 23.
