WARRINGTON Wolves have assigned a pair of player ambassadors to seven community clubs in the town.
Bank Quay, Burtonwood, Crosfields, Culcheth, Latchford, Rylands and Woolston will all have the support of two Wolves players at three community led events throughout the year, which bring together children of all ages participating in the sport – Warrington Club Challenge, One Community Day and Warrington Man of Steel Evening.
Shaun Briscoe, Rugby League Manager, said: “We are delighted to be bringing our Super League players closer to the community clubs and the future stars of our great game; giving them someone to aspire to. We look forward to developing these partnerships throughout the season and encouraging even more participation across these seven clubs.
“We’d like to thank the players who have volunteered their time as ambassadors and who will support the development of Rugby League within the town.
“We will be celebrating these partnerships by giving each of the clubs a focus game throughout the season starting with Crosfields at the St Helens fixture in April.”
Community Rugby League coach Lee Mitchell will act as the link between the community teams and the club.
