Club career

David Treasure secured his signing by scoring 5 tries in the Bradford Northern A-Team match against Hunslet; at that time Bradford Northern's A-Team coach was Stan Kielty. Treasure made his début for Bradford Northern at Fartown Ground, Huddersfield. He was transferred from Bradford Northern to Oldham. During Oldham's match against Bradford Northern, and following a tackle that Treasure had made on a Bradford Northern Шаблон:Rlp, the prop sat on Treasure's knee, the physio and specialists were unable to determine the extent of the injury, as the technology of the era did not allow for scans, and although damaged cartilage was removed via arthroscopy, Treasure retired from rugby league. It was subsequently discovered that he had snapped his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
