Partners for Players
The reality of being a professional Rugby League player differs greatly from the perceived glamour of high salaries and fame. Though relatively well-paid, at least compared to many young people of their age and background, players also face short, pressure-filled careers with much uncertainty.
Rugby League Cares look to partner with top service providers to support players, offering legal, investment, and insurance services. Player’s access these through their club's Player Welfare Manager or directly through us.
