James Harrison on taking the final step towards 'completing Wembley'
PLAY, score, win. The ultimate Wembley Stadium checklist for a player in any sport. James Harrison has done all of those things in what has been a relatively short career to date – it could be said that he has, as the youth of today would say, 'completed it, mate.' Advertisement Indeed, he did it all in one game for Featherstone Rovers back in 2021 as he touched down for a try against York City Knights to help them lift the 1895 Cup in a game played as a curtain-raiser to the Challenge Cup Final between St Helens and Castleford Tigers. However, the fact he's yet to leave the national stadium with a Challenge Cup winner's medal means there's still a piece of the jigsaw to fulfil. 'Playing there with Featherstone – we won and I scored in that one – so I've nearly completed Wembley,' he said. 'There's just the one thing missing. 'It's mad playing there. We obviously experienced it last year so now we know what to expect. Advertisement 'It's always a great occasion and historically, playing there is probably the pinnacle of rugby league in England.' James Harrison scored a try in Featherstone Rovers' 1895 Cup Final win at Wembley in 2021 (Image: Ed Sykes/ Having featured in last year's final defeat to Wigan Warriors, Harrison is now gearing up to run out onto the hallowed turf for the third time, making him something of a 'Wembley veteran.' And for a player who will always naturally be compared to his father Karl – himself a prominent name in English rugby league from the 1980s and 1990s – that's something he'll always be able to hold over the old man. Harrison Senior won Premierships and Great Britain caps during his playing days while he was also a Super League head coach at Salford, he never quite got that big day out at Wembley. Advertisement Now, though, his satisfaction comes in following the burgeoning career of his son wherever he goes – even if it hits him hard in the wallet! 'My Dad never actually got past the semi-finals in the Challenge Cup,' he said. 'With me getting to Wembley in back-to-back years, he's told me I'm costing him a fortune! 'He came out to Vegas to watch us and now it's Wembley again – the family are getting a load of minibuses to get down there so there will be a few of them.' Harrison's father Karl was a Super League head coach with Salford Red Devils having represented Great Britain as a player (Image: Simon Wilkinson/ Now, having experienced both sides of a Wembley final, the 28-year-old is desperate to make his latest big occasion more akin to his first than his last. Advertisement He was in the starting Wire side last year as they were beaten by Wigan – and he is clearly itching to right that wrong. 'Last year hasn't been spoken about really but individually, I think we've all thought about it. I certainly have,' he said. 'I got a taste of it last year and it was one of the toughest days I've had to take a loss like that. 'That being said, I can't wait to get back there now.' A dejected Harrison following last year's Wembley defeat to Wigan Warriors (Image: Simon Wilkinson/ They were not favourites against a Wigan side that ended up completing an unprecedented 'quadruple' of trophies, and they will likely play the role of underdogs again as current Super League leaders Hull KR await under the famous arch. Advertisement Much the same as Warrington's 70-year wait for a league title, the Robins' failure to win a trophy of any kind since 1985 has been the subject of terrace mockery but having established themselves among the elite, they will sense a glorious chance to silence those taunts. Harrison and his teammates are well aware of what is coming their way – indeed, they got a taste of it a fortnight ago in Super League – but he insists a confident group will be heading down the M6. 'It's going to be a great occasion – we'll take loads of fans and I'm sure Hull KR will as well,' he said. 'They're a world-class side with world-class players across the board. 'They will fancy it but with the players in our group, we fancy it too.'

Five names to watch in the Premier League transfer window
Premier League clubs are already busy strengthening their squads for the 2025/26 season with an early transfer frenzy sparked by the upcoming Club World Cup. AFP Sports looks at five names to watch as the transfer window kicks into gear. Advertisement Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen) Liverpool have shown no sign of resting on their laurels as English champions. After a quiet first year for Arne Slot in the transfer market, the Reds have moved quickly to back the Dutchman heavily this summer. The darling of German football, Wirtz looks set to smash the Premier League transfer record should he get his wish of a dream move to Anfield. Liverpool have reportedly had a bid worth up to £109 million ($147 million) rebuffed as Leverkusen hold out for a £125 million fee. That would break the record set by Chelsea's £115 million capture of Moises Caicedo from under Liverpool's noses two years ago. Advertisement Wirtz was instrumental in Leverkusen's stunning German league and cup double in the 2023/24 season, plus a run to the Europa League final under Xabi Alonso. The two clubs have already agreed one deal as Jeremie Frimpong has joined Liverpool as a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold. Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd) Fresh from the club's worst season since they were relegated 51 years ago, losing their inspirational captain would appear to be the worst possible news for United. However, selling Fernandes to Saudi side Al Hilal could provide much-needed funds for Ruben Amorim to rebuild a squad in his image at Old Trafford. Advertisement The Red Devils could land £100 million for the 30-year-old, who would become one of the world's highest paid players should be move to the Gulf. "If the club thinks it's time to part ways because they want to do some cashing in or whatever, it is what it is and football sometimes is like this," said Fernandes after United lost the Europa League final to Tottenham last month. Fernandes would leave enormous shoes to fill for a side already lacking in creativity and a goal threat. Despite a miserable campaign collectively, only Liverpool's Mohamed Salah provided more goal contributions last season among Premier League players in all competitions than Fernandes' 19 goals and 19 assists. Advertisement Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) Mbeumo is one of United's key targets to end their woes in front of goal. The French-born Cameroon international enjoyed a stellar season with Brentford, scoring 20 times. Mbeumo revelled in becoming the Bees' star man since the departure of Ivan Toney and his partnership with Yoane Wissa carried Thomas Frank's men to an impressive top half finish. Despite interest from Arsenal, Newcastle and Tottenham, Mbeumo's preferred destination is reportedly Old Trafford if United can reach an agreement with Brentford. United have already added Matheus Cunha to bolster a misfiring forward line. Advertisement Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting Lisbon) A remarkable 54-goal season for Sporting has made the Swede a target for a series of clubs seeking more firepower. Arsenal have been strongly linked with bringing Gyokeres back to England as Mikel Arteta seeks a clinical finisher to end the Gunners' five-year trophy drought. The 26-year-old has a 100 million euro (£84 million) buyout clause in his Sporting contract, but it is expected the Portuguese champions would settle for around 70 million euros. Despite six goals in eight Champions League games, there are doubts over Gyokeres' ability to transfer his prolific form in Portugal to the Premier League. Advertisement He joined Sporting just two years ago from English second tier side Coventry after failing to make the grade at Brighton. Arsenal also have a long-standing interest in RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, while Newcastle's Alexander Isak appears an unattainable target after the Magpies qualified for the Champions League. Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace) Eze will forever be a Palace legend after scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup final victory over Manchester City to deliver the Eagles' first ever major trophy. The England international's eye for goal and a defence-splitting pass has seen him targeted by a plethora of the Premier League's best. City eye the 26-year-old as a potential replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, while Arsenal and Tottenham are also interested and could easily trigger his £68 million release clause. kca/iwd
