Tim Sharp was one of a crop of promising youngsters at the Travellers Saints club, but unlike his older brother Jon, Tim chose to join his home-town team.  He had played as a youngster in the 1981 curtain raiser at Wembley for Featherstone & Castleford schools alongside future Rovers Neil Roebuck, Jason Sims and Mark Webster. He signed for Featherstone in 1987, and made his debut in January 1989 at Halifax after a steady apprenticeship in the A team. He alternated between stand-off partner to Deryck Fox and deputy full-back to Chris Bibb in his first two seasons.

To establish himself in the first team Tim had to adapt his natural distributing and kicking game, a role customarily filled by Fox. Despite this, he went on to play a total of 91 games, scored 15 tries and kicked 6 goals. To illustrate his versatility those 91 games consisted of five games from full-back, 25 at stand-off, just seven games in his natural scrum-half position, 13 at loose forward and even a game at hooker, as well as 30 games off the bench. He faced his older brother on the field a number of times, the first time being in November 1990 when Rovers beat Hull 14-6. Sharp left for York in the summer of 1993, perhaps disappointed that he didn’t inherit the number seven shirt following Fox’s departure to Bradford, and later played for Hunslet.
