Kyle Eastmond is a rugby league footballer who currently plays for St Helens in the Super League. Kyle Eastmond's preferred position is half-back but he has also played at stand-off, full-back, centre and dummy-half on occasions.
Eastmond is a half-back who has been compared to Australian international Scott Prince, because of his darting runs to the line and a good kicking game. He has also got a keen eye for a gap in the defensive line.
Kyle attended The Radclyffe School, Oldham.[2]
In 2007, Kyle Eastmond was promoted to training with the St Helens RLFC first team squad. In 2008, he made a spectacular early impression in the traditional Good Friday fixture with Wigan Warriors, scoring a late try and a goal.[3]
Kyle capped an impressive year in 2009 by scoring all of Saints 10 points in the Grand Final defeat to Leeds Rhinos.[4]
He was selected for England in the 2009 Four Nations tournament and made his international debut against Wales in a warm-up game.
In December 2009, Eastmond signed a new two-year contract with St Helens that ends in 2012.
