We are pleased to announce a fantastic opportunity for students at the academy, working with ex professional rugby league player (St Helens RLFC and Wigan Warriors) Matty Smith.

The sessions are open to current rugby league players who may play outside of the academy, and also to students who may have never participated before who would like to learn new skills and work with a professional sports person.
