Another former rugby league player has joined ex-Wigan stand-off Bobbie Goulding in taking legal action against the RFL for negligence.

Francis Maloney was diagnosed with early-onset dementia and chronic traumatic encephalopathy earlier this year

Like other former professionals, the 48-year-old believes he should have been made aware of the significant risks caused by concussions and sub-concussions.

A total of 75 former players are planning on suing the RFL, as they feel they were owed a better duty of care by the governing body.
