Steven Bennett, 28, who played several games for the Reds in 2010 and 2011, was driving a HGV during the multi-vehicle crash in Warrington on September 19 last year, according to prosecutors.
Angela Wong, 56, died at the scene and her 62-year-old husband Richard died later in hospital.
Bennett, who is originally from Grimethorpe, appeared at Chester Magistrates’ Court last Friday and entered a not guilty plea.
He will next appear at Chester Crown Court for trial on August 28.
