Leeds
Terry joined Leeds after a protracted transfer from Wigan amateur team St Judes, after Warrington had claimed they had also signed the young Newton.
Terry missed his first year of Academy rugby due to the problem however when he finally joined in March 1996 he made an immediate impact. He made his debut against Sheffield at Headingley in April of that year and by the next season was a regular in the side making 26 appearances in 1997 and scoring 2 tries.
His progression continued in 1998, despite going on loan to Bramley for a month, he still played in the Grand Final team at Old Trafford before playing his best season at the club in 1999. Leeds had signed Great Britain hooker Lee Jackson and Newton’s opportunities looked limited however coach Graham Murray came up with a game plan that used both to their maximum potential. Newton, with his no nonsense direct play would start games with Jackson coming on off the bench to carve teams open. He played 83 times for Leeds and scored 6 tries.
Wigan
He joined Wigan Warriors and made his debut for the Warriors on
Boxing Day 1999 against St Helens.Terry is a prolific
try scorer bagging over a dozen tries in each of the last two seasons and started the 2002 campaign on course to surpass his previous tallies. Newton signed a new 4-year extension to his current deal with the Warriors in August 2002. He played much of the 2003 season despite needing aknee operation. He decided to put the op back to the end of the year because the club was suffering an injury crisis with 9 senior pros out of action. He was rewarded for his efforts when he was included in the 2003 Super League 'Dream Team'.Representative
Terry has international experience with two caps for England against France in October 1999, and he gained two caps in the 1998 Great Britain v New Zealand test series whilst at Leeds. Terry would surely have represented Great Britain in the 2001 Ashes series had it not been for a broken arm suffered in the Warriors Grand Final defeat to Bradford Bulls at Old Trafford.
He made his return to the Great Britain squad for the 2003 Ashes series, despite needing a knee operation, and was selected for the Tri-Nations squad the following year.
Terry has also represented Lancashire in the 2003 Origin match.
Injury and suspension caused him to miss selection for 2005’s Tri Nations Tournament but is expected to make a big impact for the Bulls this season.
