Wayne Robert Godwin (born 13 March 1982) is an English former professional rugby league footballer who played as a hooker in the 2000s and 2010s.[3][4][5]

Godwin played for the Castleford Tigers (Heritage № 779), the Wigan Warriors (Heritage № 971), Hull FC, the Bradford Bulls and the Salford Red Devils in the Super League, and for Dewsbury Rams in the Championship.

Background[]

Godwin was born in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, England. He supported the Castleford Tigers as a child.[citation needed]

Early career[]

Godwin turned pro in 2002, being signed from his local club Knottingley Rockware to play for Castleford until the end of 2004, making over 60 appearances.[citation needed] Godwin signed a two-year deal with Wigan after Castleford's relegation at the end of 2004's Super League IX.[citation needed]

Goodwin was called into the England A squad for the 2004 European Challenge Cup.[citation needed]

Godwin signed for Hull F.C. in 2006.[citation needed]

Bradford[]

Godwin signed for Bradford in 2008 and was the understudy to Terry Newton, during his time at Bradford he always wore the number 14 shirt and established himself as a fans' favourite.[citation needed] During his time at Bradford he played many different positions including loose forward several times.

Mick Potter's arrival at Odsal and the arrival of the vastly experienced hooker Matt Diskin put Godwin in a position where he would be the 3rd choice hooker and would not feature in every game of the 2011 season.[citation needed]

Salford[]

It was announced that Godwin had joined Salford due to their intended hooker, Tevita Leo Latu being refused a visa.[citation needed] On Godwin's début, he scored a try but Salford still lost 13–12 to Leigh.

Dewsbury[]

Goodwin signed for Dewsbury for the 2014 season, playing in the Kingstone Press Championship. On 15 March 2015, Godwin returned on a four-week loan to Salford.[citation needed]
