Ryan Bailey

On 18 January 2018, it was reported that Bailey, along with teammates Fuifui Moimoi and David Taylor, parted ways with the club by "mutual agreement" following a preseason training camp in Portugal. It was later reported that the players had twice missed curfew during the trip.

After his departure from Toronto, Bailey joined league 1 side Workington in January 2018. After playing just six games for the Cumbrian team, Bailey was offered a chance to move up to the Championship to play for Leigh and left Workington in April 2018.

Bailey joined Leigh in April 2018 and made 11 appearances for the club in the 2018 season. In November 2018, Bailey joined Featherstone Rovers on a trial contract but decided to retire from the game in February 2019 aged 35.

Ahead of the 2017 season, Bailey signed for newcomers to Rugby League Toronto. He made his début for the new club in an 80-0 victory over North Wales Crusaders. He then went on to play in seven more games that year and helped in securing the Wolfpack's Kingston Press League 1 triumph and subsequent promotion to the Betfred Championship.

Bailey was charged with "evading, refusing or failing to submit to sample collection" during a routine drugs testing session at Toronto's Lamport Stadium on 30 May 2017. An arbitration panel appointed by the UK National Anti-Doping Panel concluded that Bailey had committed an anti-doping rule violation, but that the exceptional circumstances of the case were such that there was no fault or negligence to be apportioned to Bailey and therefore no suspension under the anti-doping rules should be applied. The panel heard evidence, including psychiatric evidence, over three days and heard that Bailey had during the testing process, developed a genuine, if unjustified, belief that the water offered to him by the testing officials was contaminated in some way. The panel also noted that Bailey did take a drugs test three days after the original incident that was negative and stressed that they did not consider Bailey a cheat or someone trying to cover up drug taking. The case is believed to be the first case where a player who has refused to take a test has not been punished.
