Toronto Wolfpack loan wingers Jonny Pownall, Ryan Burroughs to Barrow Raiders
TORONTO — The Toronto Wolfpack have loaned wingers Jonny Pownall and Ryan Burroughs to the Barrow Raiders.
But both players will be ineligible to play for the Raiders when eighth-place Barrrow (5-9-3) visits league-leading Toronto (15-1-1) on Saturday in Betfred Championship rugby league play.
Pownall was a first-choice winger along with Liam Kay last year in the Wolfpack’s inaugural season in the third-tier League 1, scoring 30 tries in 32 appearances. But the English native finds himself behind Kay, Matty Russell and Adam Higson, who is currently working his way back from injury.
“Being a third winger is always a difficult job. Being a fourth winger is painful,” said Toronto coach Paul Rowley. “Jonny needs to play. I’ve got to do the right thing by him.
