Rugby League Cares is relaunching its Player Welfare Programme to provide even more comprehensive levels of support to the sport’s most important stakeholders: its players.

RL Cares is an independent charity partly funded by the RFL and Super League which has had responsibility for welfare provision to professional and semi-professional players since early 2019.

That support will now be stepped up with a more holistic approach that has a strong focus on ensuring players are practically, professionally and emotionally prepared to move on to new roles at the end of their Rugby League careers.

The relaunch builds on the massive investment RL Cares has made in player welfare over the last 18 months, especially during the coronavirus lockdown when the charity has directly or indirectly supported over 400 players.

Check out the latest in a series of features in which players show their gratitude, focusing on former Wire teammates Dom Crosby and Jack Hughes.
