EXCLUSIVE: Chris Sandow set to sign for Toronto : Mon Jun 04, 2018 11:54 pm
Former Warrington half back Chris Sandow is set for a shock return to the full time game with news he is on the verge of signing for Toronto Wolfpack.The mercurial half back lit Super League alight during his time with Warrington but later fell prey to Warrington's poor culture of unprofessional instilled by head coach Tony Smith.
Rumours have been circulating about Sandow's future for months and peaked yesterday after a cryptic instagram post by him suggesting he had just signed for a new club. This was followed by a post by Toronto Wolfpack on social media late last night suggesting that a new signing announcement was imminent (although some have suggested this could be a club mascot).
Signing Sandow now is thought to be linked to Toronto's start of a 9 week stretch they have of games in North America. It is believed he could only be announced now so as he can play the requisite amount of games required in North America so as in order to obtain a UK visa for the Middle 8's towards the end of the season. Sandow's lack of recent full time games back in Australia mean he doesn't automatically qualify for a UK work Visa.
The mercurial halfback is another huge statement of intent by the Toronto club and sees them retain their position as bookies favorites for promotion towards the end of the year.
