HARRY COLEMAN is all set to sit things out during a lengthy ban.
North Wales Crusaders’ player Coleman has been handed a five-match ban by the Rugby Football League following an incident during a match at Whitehaven earlier this month.
Coleman was charged with a Grade F offence for punching, which resulted in him being handed 35 penalty points. This sanction carries a five-match suspension and a fine. Whitehaven’s Ellis Nixon received the same penalty for punching.
The suspension came into effect on Monday and Coleman, who was a part of the squad for last weekend’s loss at home to Halifax Panthers, would next be available for the trip to Swinton Lions on August 16.
A familiar face has returned to North Wales Crusaders until the end of the season.
Back in the ranks is Lewis Fairhurst (pictured), who has enjoyed two previous spells with North Wales.
He initially joined Crusaders in 2018, making his debut against York, and across two spells with the club, he has scored five tries in 17 appearances.
