Paul Leyland is a former professional rugby league player who was a professional with St. Helens in the Super League and formerly played in their reserve side. He is a loose-forward by preference but could also play at prop-forward and centre. He attended Broadway High School, and signed for St Helens from local amateur side Portico Vine ARLFC. He made his first-team début in the 2006 Super League season when Saints played a mostly reserve team against Catalans Dragons in preparation for their upcoming Challenge Cup Final.[1][2] He now coaches the under 20's as an assistant to Ian Talbot.
