Milestones that Stefan Richard achieved on his special night
Stefan Ratchford is mobbed by teammates as he celebrates scoring a try for Warrington Wolves against Castleford Tigers (Image: Paul Currie/ STEFAN Ratchford's milestone game for Warrington Wolves against Castleford Tigers turned out to be a sweet one in a number of ways. The 36-year-old, who is in his 14th season at the club, fittingly scored The Wire's 75th-minute try on his 350th club appearance to kill off Castleford's comeback and send his team to Wembley on the back of a timely win. Advertisement Ratchford is now Warrington's joint 18th highest appearance maker in the club's entire history. He is level with former Wire back-rower, skipper and head coach Paul Cullen but could quickly climb into the top 15, as he is only a few behind Frank Williams (351) and Eric Fraser (352). His first appearance in the club colours came in the opening game of the 2012 season away to Hull FC - a game which ended 20-20.

He made 108 appearances for Salford between 2007 and 2011 and has 10 international caps to his name. Advertisement 'I don't really know what to say,' said Ratchford when asked about reaching his 350th match milestone. 'I'm not usually stuck for words but 350 games for one club, especially coming after being at Salford for a few years as well, is probably something I never thought I'd achieve. 'With five minutes left that gap opened up, luckily I was there and Duff (Matt Dufty) popped the ball up nicely so to get a try on the milestone is real nice. 'The milestone is probably something I'll look back on in time and it'll probably hit me a little bit more. It's something pretty special to be honest.'
