Warrington reject Oli Holmes insists he has “no hard feelings” towards boss Daryl Powell as he begins life at Leigh.
The one-time England international was cut by Wolves in October, just 12 months into a three-year deal. He was one of numerous players cleared out after the big-spending club endured an embarrassing 2022, finishing second-bottom in Super League. But it was particularly hard for the industrious second-row given he’d moved with Powell from Castleford where they’d enjoyed a close relationship and plenty of success.
Speaking publicly about the split for the first time, Holmes - who scored three tries in 24 Wolves appearances - insisted: “We’re all adults at the end of the day. We sat down, had a conversation and they explained the reasons. I accepted those reasons and we moved separate ways. Obviously, I was a little disappointed it came to an end with mine and Powelly’s relationship."
