Moving into a coaching position at the club.

Retired on medical advice! Wish him all the best

gutted that he couldnt of gone out on a high at old trafford, he deserved that league winners medal, just a shame he couldnt have one more crack at it.

Absolutely lost for words. Such a sad way to go, but what sporting memories we will all have for many years to come.

Gutted

This is just how I feel.

An all time Wire Legend.

Tears are in my eyes.

Big boots to fill , hope we got a replacement in mind

Thank you for everything. A Wire legend in the true sense of the word. Does this mean this contract www1.skysports.com/news/12040/8838912/ is terminated and the cash free on the cap?

Very sad news, a great and LOYAL Wire player. All the best in your new role Lee.

Not an emotional person, but have to admit I welled up reading that.

I was at the NHS place today with my lad. He always laughs at all the Brian Bevan statue/wall/gates, as though he's the only legend we've ever had.

He was saying that Briers should have something next and he's right.

He was with us through some rough times, and some good times over the past few years. Shame he missed out on the Grand Final win last season but glad he's still at the club in some capacity.

Cheers Lee, you're going to be hard to replace.

It's a shame. It's a day we all knew would come. That being said it doesn't make it any easier. Thanks for the memories Lee. Legend.

Doesn't seem real that he won't be part of the team next season. Wow.

to quote steve the pirate "B0llocks".

That explains the matty russell signing in a bit further depth.

I really really don't know what to say. Doesn't seem real somehow.

Very sad news.

Excuse me while I go and cry in a dark room for a few days.

Great Player, Great Memories just hope he can put that Rugby brain into one or more of our players especially the youngsters coming through so we have the same long term platform we had with him for all these years.

Cheers Briersey you are a WIRE LEGEND!!

Best of luck to the man thats tormented fc for years cracking career and cracking bloke.

Gutted too hear this fantastic player, many happy memories.

All the best for the future.

He was a very entertaining player to watch, even as a neutral.
All the best for the future Lee.

An outstanding rugby league brain that will be missed as a physical presence on the pitch. I look forward to watching those to whom he now passes on that knowledge prosper and grow.

Having watched Lee's progression from Wilderspool through to Haliwell Jones, good times and dark, I wish him all the very best in the next chapter of his RL career.

One of those occasions when 'legend' is not an apt enough word

With Willie Poching & Richard Marshall yet to sign contracts for next year. Is there a place for Briers?

One of the best half backs since SL began.
Not someone I would necessarily choose to have a pint with, but a loss to RL and a well respected player. Wolves will miss him.

We've had precious few players that I'd call a legend, since I started watching the game (Bevan J, and Gregory M) but Lee deserves to be included in such company.

A great rugby brain
Fantastic reader of the play
Excellent improviser
An eye for the interception
When he had his kicking boots on, he'd back-hell 'em over from the touch line
The best 40-20 kicker since the rule was brought in
Cheeky chappy
and, if you believe a certain Wiganer on this site, a bum-banger!!!!

Yes, Lee didn't fulfill 100% of his talent (we, as Wire fans, can all admit to this, I'm sure) , but a truly fantastic talent, nonetheless.

His omission from GB sides is not a scandal, more GB's loss.

So thank you Lee for a fantastic career in P&B.......club legend
