James Lomas (rugby league)

James Lomas was a pioneering English rugby league footballer of the early 20th century. Hailing from Maryport, his career lasted for twenty-four years from 1899 to 1923. A three-quarter and prominent goal-kicker, Lomas became rugby league's first £100 transfer, from Bramley to Salford in 1901. Lomas played in 1904's first ever international rugby league match for England against an Other Nationalities side. His club record for most points in a game (39) achieved for Salford against Liverpool City on 2nd February 1907 still stands today. Lomas went on to captain the first British tour of the Southern Hemisphere which began on 4th June 1910. He later played for Oldham in their Challenge Cup loss to Dewsbury in the 1912 final. Lomas' total points scoring world record of 2,340 stood until Jim Sullivan passed it in the 1928-9 season.
