He was notably awarded the prestigious Man of Steel award twice consecutively in 2001 and 2002, becoming the first player to do so. He also captained St Helens from 2004, leading them to several victories. His international career included representing England and Great Britain, where he was also awarded the captaincy in 2005. He was inducted into the Rugby Football League Hall of Fame on September 9, 2024.
Paul Sculthorpe retired from professional rugby league in 2008 due to persistent injuries, concluding a 13-year playing career marked by numerous accolades and a significant impact on the sport.
