Lee Briers is one of the most prolific points scorers in the history of Rugby League. A genuine half back, he signed for his boyhood club St Helens in 1996 – after having a trial for Liverpool FC as a child – and made his debut in 1997 when Bobby Goulding was suspended. He went on to march Saints to Wembley but missed out on a Challenge Cup Final appearance. He joined Warrington Wolves soon after and has remained at Wilderspool ever since.

After close to 17 seasons with the Warrington Wolves, he was the club’s top points scorer and awarded the Lance Todd Trophy for his man-of-the-match performance in the 2010 Challenge Cup Final. Lee is now nurturing the next batch of Warrington stars as assistant coach of the under 19’s side.

The 2011 Super League season was Briers’ 14th. During this season he broke a number of club records including top all time points scorer, having overtaken club greats Brian Bevan and Steve Hesford. He broke the record during a Challenge Cup home 112-0 demolition of Swinton. This match also saw Briers break his own club record for points in a match (set 11 years earlier against York), with 44 points, from 16 goals and three tries.
In 2012, with the goal to make Warrington Wolves a lasting legacy, Lee and the team went on to win the Challenge Cup Trophy for a third time.
In 2013, during the second match of the season against Wigan Warriors, Lee suffered a neck injury which saw the Warrington ace out for 13 games. He returned for a Tetley’s Challenge Cup fifth round tie against Salford City Reds in which he made not only a try scoring return but also kicked his 1000th career goal.
In November 2013, although Briers had a year remaining on his contract, he announced his retirement due to a neck injury. He played 425 games for Warrington, scoring a club record 2,586 points.
Shortly before announcing his retirement, Briers released his autobiography, Off the Cuff.
