Richie Myler

Richard David Myler (born 21 May 1990) is a retired rugby league footballer, who is currently the director of rugby for Hull FC in the Super League. He is a member of the Ireland squad for the delayed 2021 Rugby League World Cup, having declared for Ireland in 2022. Previously he has represented England and the England Knights at international level.

He has played for the Widnes Vikings in the Championship, and the Salford City Reds in the Championship and the Super League. Myler has also played for the Warrington Wolves and the Catalans Dragons in the Super League.

Myler was born in Widnes, Cheshire, England. He attended St's Peter and Paul RC High school. He was amongst several students to receive a scholarship from the Rugby League.

Myler began his career with Widnes, playing two games in the 2007 season.

Myler signed for Salford from Widnes on a three-year deal in 2008 and contributed to Salford winning the National League One title, scoring 25 tries in 32 appearances, and winning numerous awards as well as the Co-Operative Player of the Year award. On 14 February 2009 Myler made his Super League début against Crusaders, scoring a try in a Salford victory.

In 2009, he signed a four-year contract with Warrington worth around £200,000, making him the most expensive teenage signing in Rugby League history. Myler was offered a new contract which allegedly would have made him the highest paid player in the history of Widnes. According to agent Martin Offiah he rejected the deal, instead favouring a four-year deal with Warrington.[better source needed]
