NIELSEN TAKES HIS TIGERS CHANCE

SHEFFIELD racer Stefan Nielsen insists he’s ready to show fans he is the real deal.

Nielsen did enough in his four Premiership meetings with the club last season to earn a recall for 2022, as he scored 30 points plus five bonus at reserve for the Tigers before his campaign ended with injury in a crash at Birmingham.

He said: “I felt I really was on a good roll at the time, everything was just coming together nicely, the team looked solid and I helped push the team over the line to secure a play-off place.

“But I am of course really gutted with how that story ended, I didn’t get a chance to make the difference in the big matches when it really mattered.

“But to now be back with Sheffield and having that opportunity to right this wrong is something I’m delighted with.”
