A former rugby league Super League player has been barred from selling himself on eBay, as he seeks a new club.

Ryan McGoldrick is a free agent after a team he signed for in his native Australia folded.

The website has removed his listing, saying it "goes against their terms of selling body parts and remains".

So @eBay_UK has stopped my auction because I'm selling body parts or remains..?? I'll just find another way! :) pic.twitter.com/I4WhO2Wklc

McGoldrick counts Castleford, Hull FC and Salford among his former sides.

He tried to sell himself as a "1981 antique rugby league player" with a "full service history" and who remains "well maintained".

"It started as a joke and I guess it still is, but it's interesting and has opened up a few options," McGoldrick told the Australian Daily Mail.
