Born in St.Helens, Jack Waring made his debut for his home-town team just before World War Two, but he had an active playing career during the conflict. A stylish centre, he played 60 games for Saints, played international RL for England v Wales, represented England Services teams against New Zealand and South Africa at rugby union, and also guested for Eddie Waring’s Dewsbury side. After demobbing he signed for Belle Vue Rangers.
The 1947-48 season was one of the worst that Featherstone Rovers had ever experienced and, in an attempt to stop the rot, the committee paid a club record fee of £650 to Belle Vue for Waring in December 1947. Unfortunately this signing did not have the desired effect, for out of the remaining twenty-six games that season Rovers won only one, and Jack Waring did not play. His unenviable record for that season was played eighteen, lost eighteen. That does not mean it was £650 wasted because Jack scored eight tries in those eighteen games, which was only bettered by Walt Tennant's nine tries in thirty two games.
In season 1948/49, Jack played in only three games which resulted in two defeats and a draw; then because of the travelling difficulties to and from Lancashire he was transferred to Warrington for £325. Jack Waring's short career with the Rovers had come to an end, and he had probably the unique record of playing in twenty one games and never finishing on the winning side.
