WARRINGTON rugby league legend Mike Nicholas has been honoured again for his services to the game.

The former Warrington Wolves forward, who has been involved with Wales at national level since 1993, received the Rugby League Writers and Broadcasters’ Association annual merit award at a diner staged at the Fir Grove Hotel in Grappenhall.

Nicholas, aged 68, was entered into Rugby Football League’s Roll of Honour in 2012.

After joining from Aberavon Rugby Union Club, he won the Challenge Cup with Warrington in 1973-1974, toured Down Under with Great Britain and played for Wales in the 1975 World Cup in Australia.

Nicholas, manager of Wales from 1993 to 2000, has been president of Wales Rugby League since 2004.
