  • Mark Aston is a former rugby league scrum half with the Sheffield Eagles and Great Britain. He also had short spells with Featherstone Rovers and Bramley but the bulk of his career was spent with the Eagles, who he joined in 1985. He retired from playing in 2004, having been the figurehead in the fight to save the Eagles after their merger with the Huddersfield Giants in 1999. In less than three months, a new club was formed that was allowed in to the Northern Ford Premiership with Aston as player/coach and a completely new semi-professional team. This must have seemed a long way from the day, only 18 months earlier, when Aston won the Lance Todd Trophy in the Challenge Cup final at Wembley Stadium, inspiring the Sheffield Eagles to a famous 17-8 win over Wigan. Aston is now Chief Executive and Head Coach at the new Eagles club, who play in National League One.
  • Mark Aston är en före detta rugbyspelare i Sheffield Eagles och Great Britain national rugby league team. Aston är numera coach för The new Eagles club som spelar i Rugby League National Leagues.
