He missed the back end of the 2005 campaign with injury but made the England side at the end of the season, and toured Australia and New Zealand as a stand-by for the Great Britain squad in 2006.
Paul Cullen described as the 'best kick returner in Super League' during the 2006 season, Reardon was the
Warrington Wolves leading tackle-buster with 66 in his first year at the club.External links
