Stephen Tyrer is a rugby league footballer who plays for Halifax RLFC in the Championship (rugby league) he previously played for Salford City Reds and Widnes Vikings in the Super League. Tyrer is a goal kicking centre or winger.
In November 2006, Steve Tyrer was promoted to train with the St. Helens first team squad
Steve Tyrer is someone in the words of Harlequins stalwart Tony Rea 'who the whole rugby league community have known about for some time.'
Tyrer made a big impact on the first team squad in 2007, making a try scoring home debut against Bradford Bulls, his strong running and goal kicking ability cemented his place as one of the games brightest prospects. Having made a significant contribution in Saints early win over Batley Bulldogs in the challenge cup, Stephen was given a place in the squad for the first final at the new Wembley, although he did not take part in the action, he did receive a competition winner's medal.
Having played his first full season as number 24, Stephen was given the number 22 shirt for the 2008 Super League season. He found his opportunities limited however in a strong Saints squad. He spent the final third of the season on loan at the Widnes Vikings where he wore the number 3 shirt and scored over 100 points, including two second half tries and several conversions in his debut against Salford City Reds.
After Widnes Vikings missed out on a place in the 2009 Super League competition, Tyrer parted with the club to pursue his top flight ambitions with Crusaders. This was followed by another season on loan at the Salford City Reds. In late 2010 Stephen was released from his Saints contract and returned to the Widnes Vikings where he will hope to win a long term contract before the Vikings recently announced return to Superleague for the 2012 season.
