Playing Career

Handley struggled to fulfil his potential in a star-studded but underachieving Leeds side, but thrived in a big-fish-in-a-small-pond role at Keighley Cougers in the 1994–95 season when Keighley Cougers, back in the game's top division, secured a mid-table finish. Handley enjoyed an excellent season and scored Two Tries against his old side.
