Lee Radford has spoken for the first time about O’Neill’s new career path. (Daily Star)

He told Daily Star: “Obviously, it was shock originally. But I am not on social media and I am probably not down with the kids at the minute.

“Financially I’m led to believe there’s far more benefits in that career path than there is in rugby league, unfortunately.”
