Haynes and Domingos Named in England Wheelchair World Cup Train-On Squad

09/07/2026

Sheffield Eagles are delighted to announce that Chris Haynes and Luis Domingos have been named in Tom Coyd MBE's 12-man England Wheelchair World Cup Train-On Squad ahead of this year's IRL Rugby League Wheelchair World Cup in Australia.

The Eagles pair have earned their places alongside Jack Brown, Rob Hawkins and Finlay O'Neill (Halifax Panthers), Josh Butler, Nathan Collins and Tristan Norfolk (Leeds Rhinos), Mason Billington, Joe Coyd and Lewis King (London Roosters), and Josh Edwards (Hull FC), who is the only player in the squad yet to make his international debut.

England Wheelchair Head Coach Tom Coyd MBE said: "We have selected a group of players who are in excellent form and competing at the highest level on a weekly basis in the Super League and at our training camps.

"They are a fantastic fit for the way we want to play and, between them, bring a range of skills and strengths that we believe can combine into an exciting and relentless team.

"This squad has also made a real commitment to investing in their relationships with one another, which will be vital as we continue to build our togetherness towards the World Cup."

Also recognised for their efforts were fellow Sheffield Eagles Wheelchair players Stephen Reilly and Joe Wink-Simmonds. Despite both being members of the England National Performance Squad, they have narrowly missed out on selection for the Train-On Squad on this occasion.

Coyd praised the pair for their continued development, adding: "I also want to acknowledge the contributions of Stephen Reilly and Joe Wink-Simmonds, who, despite missing out on selection, have demonstrated their potential and will remain in our future plans. I am really keen to support them both in their continued development, in partnership with you guys at Sheffield."

The final England Wheelchair squad for the Rugby League Wheelchair World Cup in Australia will be announced later this year.

Everyone at Sheffield Eagles would like to congratulate Chris and Luis on this fantastic achievement and wish them every success as they continue their journey towards representing England on the world stage. We also congratulate Stephen and Joe on their continued involvement with the national programme and look forward to seeing all four players continue to excel in Eagles colours.
