Mansfield sign midfielder Hendry from Tranmere
Mansfield Town have signed Regan Hendry on a two-year deal after the midfielder ended discussions about staying with League Two side Tranmere Rovers. The 27-year-old Scot was among eight players in talks with Rovers about new deals earlier this month, but he has opted to move up to League One with the Stags. Hendry, who came through Celtic's youth teams before going on to start his senior career with Raith Rovers, last featured in England's third tier with Forest Green Rovers in 2023. And it was at Mansfield on the final day of the 2021-22 season that Hendry helped Forest Green clinch the League Two title. He moved to Tranmere on loan by the middle of the following season, before making his stay at Prenton Park permanent in the summer of 2023. Stags boss Nigel Clough said the central midfield is a player that the club has "admired for some time". "He's an all-round midfield player who can play two or three different roles and will complement the midfielders who we already have in the squad," Clough told the club website.

Trick Williams wins TNA Championship at WWE Background, making history
Trick Williams secured a historic victory at WWE NXT Battleground on 26th May 2025, becoming the first WWE-contracted star to win the TNA World Title. The former NXT Champion triumphed over Joe Hendry in a controversial match, marking a monumental moment in wrestling history. Williams, who had previously held the NXT title, defeated Hendry under contentious circumstances, but that didn't overshadow the significance of his achievement. After his victory, Williams celebrated in a unique fashion by mocking Hendry's iconic pose. A backstage video shared by WWE on X (formerly Twitter) showed Williams performing the famous turn and stance while holding the TNA World Title. He captioned the post with a confident 'Let's talk about it!' However, Hendry is unlikely to take his loss lightly. The match was filled with drama as Williams introduced the TNA Title into the ring, intending to strike Hendry with it. While Hendry was down, the referee intervened to prevent the use of the belt. In a twist, Hendry attempted a quick pinfall, but Williams kicked out. The former NXT Champion then slammed Hendry onto the title and secured the win with a running knee. Hendry's reaction remains to be seen, but fans can expect a fiery response, possibly on the next episode of NXT or Impact. The disgruntled champion may demand a rematch, accusing Williams and the referee of underhanded tactics in the title loss. As the wrestling world watches closely, the next chapter in this heated rivalry is sure to unfold.

Stephen Hendry quizzed about snooker comeback and offers immediate response
Stephen Hendry quizzed about snooker comeback and offers immediate response Stephen Hendry made a snooker comeback in 2020 but has now addressed the recent speculation as to whether he would consider another return to the baize following his retirement Stephen Hendry has lifted the lid on his thoughts behind another potential return from retirement (Image: Alex Pantling, Getty Images ) Legendary seven-time world snooker champion Stephen Hendry has admitted he has no plans for another snooker comeback. The 56-year-old was joined by Australian snooker star Neil Robertson on his YouTube channel when asked if he would consider another comeback from the sidelines. Hendry initially retired from professional snooker in 2012 after an illustrious 27-year career which saw him win 18 Triple Crown tournaments. He also secured a record-breaking seven World Snooker Championship titles, which was later matched by Ronnie O'Sullivan. The snooker legend also competed in 57 ranking finals and emerged victorious in an impressive 36 of them. The Scot is high in the debate of the sport's greatest players, but he isn't motivated to add to his illustrious record in future. He made a surprise return to the sport in 2020 when he accepted a two-year invitational tour card for the main World Snooker Tour. He attributed his decision to improved form and confidence, but those same factors are no longer in play. Hendry potted the black ball while playing Robertson on his Cue Tips YouTube channel (via the Daily Express), which led the 2010 world champion to ask: "You going to make a second comeback with the way you're playing?" Hendry simply answered with a smile: "No." Despite only securing three wins out of 20 matches during his four-year second tenure on the tour, Hendry announced his second retirement from snooker last year. That was despite being offered the opportunity to continue on the main tour with a two-year invitational card. Article continues below The seven-time world champion has already made one comeback after previously hanging up his cue (Image: VCG via Getty Images ) Since then, he has focused on his punditry work and his YouTube channel, which is nearing 400,000 subscribers. On top of that, he also co-hosts the Snooker Club podcast with Mark Watson. Despite his legendary status in snooker, Hendry modestly excluded himself from his own snooker Mount Rushmore when asked to pick five icons for induction into the Snooker Club's Hall of Fame. But a collection of other wizened stars did make the cut, with obvious pick Ronnie O'Sullivan included at the top. "It's very close between Mark Williams and John Higgins, I'd prefer to have them joint-second," he said. "I'll go with Mark just because of his recent record against John at the Crucible. Hendry made the revelation on his Cue Tips YouTube channel (Image: StephenHendry'sCueTips/Youtube ) "He is a freak of nature, he has the best temperament of any sportsman I have seen. He maybe hasn't got the cue power of others, but he has great touch, and he is just a brilliant potter." Article continues below Williams recently finished runner-up to Zhao Xintong in the 2025 World Snooker Championship. And at 50 years old, he became the oldest player ever to make the final of the competition, possibly giving some fans hope there's life in Hendry yet as a competitor. Hendry then positioned Mark Selby, a four-time world champion, in fourth place. And he deliberated over including either current world No. 1 Judd Trump or six-time world champion Steve Davis for the fifth spot. "In fifth could be Judd Trump because of what he has won and his centuries, but he only has one world title," he said. "So I'm going for Steve Davis based on his utter domination of the 1980s."

Stephen Hendry fires back immediately after being asked about snooker comeback
Stephen Hendry made a surprise return to the professional snooker circuit in 2020 after initially retiring in 2012, but the seven-time world champion has no plans for a third comeback Stephen Hendry has candidly admitted that he has no intention of making another snooker comeback, following a question posed by Neil Robertson. The 56-year-old Scotsman was joined by the Australian star on his YouTube channel 'Stephen Hendry's Cue Tips' earlier this week. Hendry first retired from the sport in 2012 after an impressive 27-year professional career that included 18 Triple Crown tournament victories. He also won a then-unmatched record of seven World Snooker Championship titles, a feat since equalled by Ronnie O'Sullivan. The snooker icon participated in 57 ranking finals as well, triumphing in an incredible 36 of them. However, eight years later, he made an unexpected return when he accepted a two-year invitational tour card for the main World Snooker Tour, citing improved form and confidence. Despite only winning three out of 20 matches during his four-year stint on the tour, Hendry announced his second retirement from snooker last year, even though he had been offered the chance to continue on the main tour with a two-year invitational card. Since then, he has concentrated on his punditry work, his YouTube channel, which is close to reaching 400,000 subscribers, and co-hosting the Snooker Club podcast with Mark Watson. On the popular channel, during a lighthearted game with Robertson, Hendry sunk the black ball, prompting the 2010 world champion to jest: "You going to make a second comeback with the way you're playing?" To which Hendry responded with a smile: "No," reports the Express. Despite being hailed as one of snooker's all-time greats, Hendry humbly omitted himself from his own version of the sport's Mount Rushmore when tasked with selecting five legends for the Hall of Fame on the Snooker Club. "It's very close between Mark Williams and John Higgins, I'd prefer to have them joint-second," he admitted. "I'll go with Mark just because of his recent record against John at the Crucible. "He is a freak of nature, he has the best temperament of any sportsman I have seen. He maybe hasn't got the cue power of others, but he has great touch, and he is just a brilliant potter." Mark Selby, the four-time world champion, was placed fourth by Hendry, who then faced a tough choice between current world No. 1 Judd Trump and six-time world champion Steve Davis for the final spot. "In fifth could be Judd Trump because of what he has won and his centuries, but he only has one world title," he reasoned. "So I'm going for Steve Davis based on his utter domination of the 1980s."
