WARRINGTON Wolves star Stuart Reardon and St Helens ace Leon Pryce are to appear in court on charges of assault and violence.

The Super League players are due before magistrates next month following an alleged incident at a house in Queensbury, Bradford, on Sunday.

They have been charged with using violence to gain entry and assault after being arrested on Sunday morning.

Full back Reardon, aged 26, a Great Britain international, joined the Wolves for the start of the 2006 season and has scored 12 tries in 49 appearances.

Both players live in Wibsey, Bradford.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesman confirmed two 26-year-old men had been arrested in Bradford on Sunday morning on suspicion of assault, damage and using violence to gain entry.

The spokesman added: “Both men have been charged with using violence to gain entry and assault and have been bailed to appear at Bradford Magistrates’ Court on August 6.”

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

A spokesman for the Warrington Wolves said: “The club is making absolutely no comment.”
