Garreth Carvell (born 21 April 1980) is an English former professional

Championship for Featherstone Rovers (Heritage № 1025), as a prop or second-row.[2][3][4][5][6]

Background

Carvell was born in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.

Playing career

Carvell made his Super League début for

Super League II as a 16-year-old against the Sheffield Eagles
on Friday 22 August 1997.

After a successful loan spell at the newly formed Gateshead Thunder in 1999, he signed for Hull F.C. in 2000 where he developed into one of the top props in the country, helping Hull F.C. to win the 2005 Challenge Cup Final.

Hull F.C. reached the

2006 Super League Grand final to be contested against St Helens, and Carvell played as a prop in his side's 4-26 loss.[7]

In 2000, Carvell made his international début when he represented

2008 Challenge Cup Final
.

After signing a deal that would keep Carvell at Hull F.C. for the next three years he made a controversial U-turn and made the move to

2010 Challenge Cup Final victory over Leeds.[8]
and the 2012 challenge cup final victory again over Leeds. He also featured in the 2012 and 2013 Grand final defeats.

Carvell won caps for Wales while at Leeds 2000(…2007?) 1(3?)-caps + 2-caps (interchange/substitute), and won caps for Great Britain while at Hull F.C. in 2006 against New Zealand (2 matches).

Carvell was named in the England training squad for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup.[9]

Carvell played in the

2010 Challenge Cup Final victory over Leeds at Wembley Stadium.[8][10]

Carvell was also named in England's 24-man

KC Stadium, Hull, and in the final against Australia at Elland Road, Leeds
.

Carvell played in the

2012 Challenge Cup Final victory over Leeds at Wembley Stadium.[11][12][13][14]

Carvell played in the 2013 Super League Grand Final defeat by Wigan at Old Trafford.[15][16][17][18][19]

In September 2014, Carvell was again called up to play for

2014 European Cup. This was the first time that Carvell played for Wales in 14 years.[20] But, unfortunately, he had to withdraw before the tournament due to an injury but he didn't completely leave the side as he took up an assistant coaching role.[21]

Midway through the 2013 season Bradford announced that they had signed Carvell for the 2014 and 2015 seasons by signing him on a two-year deal. Carvell featured in the pre-season game against Hull FC. However, in the week leading up to the first Super League game the Bradford club went into administration and Carvell made the switch to former club Hull F.C. on a one-year deal.

He then moved to the

Championship
making his début for Featherstone Rovers on Sunday 26 April 2015.
