Having recovered from a fractured skull and blood clots in his lungs, Ben Jones-Bishop knows plenty about resilience. So he is fully prepared to bide his time and continue training on his own as he waits for a Super League opportunity for 2021. The experienced 32-year-old turned down a new deal at Wakefield in search of a fresh challenge in 2021. But 10 weeks from the scheduled kick-off and despite interest from both the top flight and Championship, Jones-Bishop is still without a club. It’s a position he’s comfortable with and one that has allowed him to focus on a property development business outside of sport. But the former Leeds, Harlequins and Salford winger does want another crack a Super League, having made an impressive return from his second blood clot issue at Trinity last season. “I thought when I came back my performances showed I still have plenty to offer,” said Jones-Bishop, who first suffered the lungs complication at Leeds and then sustained a depressed … [Read more...] about Resilient Ben Jones-Bishop ready for next Super League chance after overcoming past adversity

James Argent starts healthy cooking regime after doctors warn he could die
James Argent has kickstarted a new healthy eating routine after doctors warned him that he could die if he doesn't lose weight. The former TOWIE star, who weighed almost 27 stone at his heaviest, took to his Instagram account on Thursday night to film himself cooking after getting healthy meal boxes delivered. He admitted that he is a "terrible cook" but liked the convenience of getting a meal box delivered so he can plan his food properly. Dressed in a novelty apron with a muscular man on the front, Arg, 33, said he would be making a lamb and aubergine curry. In the video he was sat in his dining room with all his ingredients laid out on the table. James showed his followers how to make the meal step by step.

Tiger Woods: Major comeback for golf star this time could be simply returning to a pain-free life
In the depths of his comeback challenge after the triple-pronged collapse of his personal life, his ailing back and his form on the course, Tiger Woods said his central ambition was to lead a pain-free life. As he recovers in hospital, legs shattered by the force of a car crash he was lucky to survive, being pain free will again become his focus. Surgeons who treated 45-year-old Woods say he suffered "comminuted open fractures affecting both the upper and lower portions of the tibia and fibula bones". In layman's terms, that means both his shin and calf bones were splintered into multiple pieces and pierced the skin. His foot and ankle are stabilised with a combination of screws and pins and the muscles surrounding the bones were cut to relieve swelling. Advertisement It's safe to say returning to a glittering golfing career will have been relegated below ensuring that he can play with his two children again. Anish Mahajan, the chief … [Read more...] about Tiger Woods: Major comeback for golf star this time could be simply returning to a pain-free life
Towie star Mark Wright added to FIFA 21 with Crawley left-back officially WORST rated player on the game
MARK WRIGHT has been added to FIFA 21 with an almost offensive rating of just 47 - the joint-WORST on the entire game. The former Towie star, 34, was finally given his big break in professional football after joining Crawley Town in December . Wright had been Tottenham youth team captain as a teenager but admitted a summer of drinking and eating left him out of shape - leading to his release. Having waited 15 years to be given another chance, Wright has since played twice professionally. The left-back made his debut after coming off the bench late in the shock 3-0 FA Cup win over Leeds in January. But ecstasy turned to agony in his next run-out, as Wright was hauled off at half-time with Crawley 3-0 down at home to Harrogate Town. Wright hasn't played since having picked up an injury, but would have been buoyed by the news he has been added to FIFA 21 in the latest squads update. However, it will prove bittersweet for Wright, with the former reality TV … [Read more...] about Towie star Mark Wright added to FIFA 21 with Crawley left-back officially WORST rated player on the game
