Vowles leaves them speechless
December 1, 2003

FORMER Queensland State of Origin player Adrian Vowles was a shock
face at the Brisbane Broncos first official training session today.

A feared defender, Vowles played 68 games for the Gold Coast and
North Queensland between 1993-96 before stints with Bradford,
Wakefield, Castleford and Leeds in the English Super League.

Vowles played in Queensland's 14-12 second game Origin loss in 1994
and also represented Scotland in the 2000 World Cup.

During his spell in the UK he earned Super League's ultimate
individual honour when voted Britain's Man of Steel in 1999.

At 32, his chances of resurrecting his NRL career would appear slim
but he is willing to give it a shot.

Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett was one of the first people Vowles
contacted when he returned home recently.

He called Bennett and asked if he could "have a run" with the Broncos
and Bennett told to turn up for training.
