He must be a good player, because he's in the GB squad for the Ashes.
I went to the Superleage site, and dug up his profile...

BRIAN CARNEY
Irish winger Carney is in his third season with the Warriors after joining them from Hull, where he emerged as a genuine talent in 2000 at The Boulevard.
A former Gaelic Footballer, Carney had initially signed with Gateshead in 1999, scoring two tries in five appearances before their merger with Hull, while he also scored two tries for Ireland in the 2000 World Cup to show his international potential.
A strong and powerful runner, Carney hopes to have overcome the hamstring problem which dogged him last season to challenge for a Great Britain wing berth for the Ashes Series as well as more success with the Warriors.

He would be a good buy for 2005 if Girdler does retire next year. And seeing that he has played for Hull means there is a connection with Richo I guess.
