GB stars charged with assault

Great Britain stars Leon Pryce and Stuart Reardon have been charged with assault and using violence to gain entry to a property, police said on Wednesday.

St Helens stand-off Pryce and Warrington Wolves fullback Reardon, both 26, face the charges in connection with an alleged incident at a house in Queensbury, Bradford last weekend.

They will appear before Bradford magistrates next month.

A West Yorkshire Police spokeswoman said: "Two 26-year-old men were arrested in Bradford on the morning of July 13 on suspicion of assault, damage and using violence to gain entry.

"Both men have been charged with using violence to gain entry and assault and have been bailed to appear at Bradford Magistrates on August 6."

A spokesman for St Helens said: "We are aware of an incident. We are trying to get the full facts. Until then, we are making no further comment."

The spokesman said Pryce was expected to play in this week's game against Wigan.

"He is in our 19-man squad for Friday," he added.

A spokesman for the Wolves said: "The club is making absolutely no comment."
