WARRINGTON Wolves have confirmed full back Stuart Reardon has left the club.
The club is refusing to release any more details.
But it is understood he has left in the wake of pleading guilty to an attack on his wife last year.
Stuart Reardon’s spell with the club ended at the weekend, four years after joining from his hometown club Bradford Bulls.
He is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to assaulting his estranged wife after learning she had a new boyfriend.
Reardon appeared in the dock at Bradford Magistrates’ Court on March 26 alongside former Bulls teammate 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.
Both defendants were ordered by magistrates to return to the court for sentencing on April 23.
The full back had not played for the club since rupturing his Achilles in the Challenge Cup defeat at St Helens last May.
Reardon penned a new contract with Warrington, announced last July, which did not run out until the end of the 2010 season.
His three full seasons with Warrington had been restricted by injuries, making 54 appearances for the first team.
Reardon enjoyed a rapid rise from Academy to Super League and Test rugby league between 2002 and 2004.
He turned professional with Bulls from Bradford amateur club West Bowling in 2000, shooting to prominence in late 2002 while on loan at Salford City Reds.
Reardon was outstanding in his two months at The Willows and earned a call-up to the England A tour of Fiji and Tonga.
He returned to the Bulls in 2003, making 20 appearances in the title-winning Bulls side. Reardon won the prestigious Harry Sunderland Trophy for his man of the match performance against Wigan in the Grand Final at Old Trafford.
The following year he broke into the Great Britain squad for the Tri-Nations series and bagged four tries in the tournament.
Although he missed the back end of the 2005 campaign with injury he made the England side at the end of the season.
At the end of his first season with Wolves he toured Australia and New Zealand as a stand-by for the Great Britain squad.
