Stuart Reardon is a rugby league player who plays for Warrington Wolves. He plays as a fullback, wing or centre.
Reardon turned professional from West Bowling to sign for Bradford Bulls in 2000, he shot to prominence in late 2002 when former Bulls assistant coach Karl Harrison took over as head coach of Salford City Reds and signed Reardon to boost the Reds' fight against relegation.
He enjoyed a rapid rise from Academy to Super League and Test rugby league between 2002 and 2004. Though the Reds were unable to escape the drop, Reardon earned a call up to the England 'A' tour of Fiji and Tonga, where he worked with Warrington Wolves coach Paul Cullen.
He returned to the Bulls in 2003 and found a place in the first team after a long term injury to Mick Withers, making 20 appearances in the title-winning Bradford Bulls side including the Grand Final against Wigan Warriors. Reardon won the Harry Sunderland Trophy for Man of the Match in the Old Trafford showdown.
The following year he broke into the Great Britain squad for the Tri Nations series, and scored four tries in the tournament. He missed the back end of the 2005 campaign with injury but made the England side at the end of the season, and toured Australia and New Zealand as a stand-by for the Great Britain squad in 2006.
Paul Cullen described as the 'best kick returner in Super League' during the 2006 season, Reardon was the Warrington Wolves leading tackle-buster with 66 in his first year at the club.
