Meet Toby Whelan & Pete Gatenby From The Leamington Royals Rugby League Club - Ep 8In this episode, hosts Karl & Craig sit down with Pete Gatenby & Toby Whelan of the Leamington Royals.? Toby WhelanBorn in Leeds but grew up in Leamington/Warwick. I’ve only been playing league for 3 years (all with the Royals), but played Union my whole life & support the Bulls. Mostly play wing for the Royals but bit of a utility back, and does the social media. Play Union for Harbury & brought half our team over to play for the Royals.? Pete GatenbyGrew up in West Yorkshire, and played rugby league through secondary school, uni and open age, bouncing around the world I had to switch codes in the US, and having a couple of years away from rugby league, I then returned when back at uni after a shoulder op (where I really decided this was the sport for me), I then ended up with a trial in NZ playing for Glenora Bears in the Fox Prem - I did that for a season. But came back to the UK, found me in the midlands in 2014, and 2015 was my first season for the Royals. And I've been there ever since and as captain since last year.↪ Leamington WebsiteSPONSOR: This episode was sponsored by Pot Leadle - Digitial Marketing & SEO Specialists in Cheshire
