Who is Damieon Pickles?

Damieon Pickles is a former professional rugby league player.

Pickles studied at Exley Secondary school in Siddal Halifax where, when 11 years old, he started playing rugby league at Siddal ARLFC. Damieon continued to progress through the Siddal ranks before signing for Halifax ARLFC under Roger Millward in 1991 where he spent two years and made his try scoring debut on Sky in a 36-24 defeat against St. Helens before moving to Huddersfield ARLFC under the inspirational guidance of ex-Halifax reserve coach Brendan Finn in 1993 who died soon afterwards. From 1995 onwards Damieon continued to ply his trade on a semi-professional basis with stints at Hunslet, Lancashire Lynx before settling at Bramley ARLFC for a couple of seasons coached by Ray Ashton then Paul Fletcher. It was not until 1996 that Damieon returned to his hometown club of the now Halifax Bluesox where John Pendlebury was at the helm. One more season at Bluesox pulled the curtain down on his professional career but ending on a high with top points scorer in the reserve team league. Damieon spent several more years back at amateurs Siddal ARLFC.
