Former England captain and two-time Man of Steel, Sam Tomkins, is set to lace up his boots once again for a surprise comeback in the Super League.
The seasoned veteran, who had originally hung up his boots after a distinguished 15-year career, will don the jersey of Catalans Dragons as they strive to surpass their runners-up finish from last season.
Tomkins, known for his on-field prowess and strategic insight, will not only be making tackles on the pitch but will also be providing his expert analysis as a pundit for Sky Sports.
The comeback kid is scheduled to make his return on July 27th when Catalans take on Hull FC in Perpignan, with fans eagerly anticipating how he will add a new dimension to the team's gameplay.
Coach Steve McNamara's persistence in luring Tomkins out of retirement has paid off, with the wily veteran ready to bring his experience and skill to the field once more.
The decision to come out of retirement was met with disbelief and laughter from many, but Tomkins is determined to prove that he still has what it takes to compete at the highest level.
As Tomkins prepares to make his triumphant return, Rugby League fans around the world are gearing up to witness this unexpected twist in the season.
With every match of the Super League available to watch live on Sky Sports, the stage is set for Tomkins to show that legends never truly retire, they just make a grand entrance back into the game.
