Rugby League player dies in game
A Wakefield rugby league player has died after collapsing during a Sunday reserve team game against Celtic Crusaders at Maesteg.
Leon Walker, 21, collapsed in the 63rd minute and was airlifted to Morriston Hospital, Swansea where he was pronounced dead.
Walker is the second Wakefield player in the last six months.
Cook Island international Adam Watene, 31, died after collapsing during a training session in October.
The reserve team game at Maesteg kicked off at 1500 GMT and the Super League clash between the two clubs, due to start four hours later, was called off.
Wakefield Chairman Ted Richardson said: "This is a tragic loss for all involved with Rugby League.
"Clearly everybody at the club is devastated by this news and all our sympathies and prayers are with the family at this time."
Nigel Wood, RFL chief executive, said: "This is truly shocking and tragic news and our heartfelt condolences go to the parents, family and friends of Leon as well as the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats club.
"Our thoughts and sympathies are with all those involved at this devastating time."
Walker, a second rower or loose forward, signed for Wakefield in November 2008 having spent three years at Salford City Reds where he earned representative honours with Yorkshire and England in 2007.
Before joining Salford Walker played for amateur side Churwell Chiefs.
