Richmond Rugby aims to support players that either have aspirations to be full-time/professional rugby players as well as those who want to balance a love of playing rugby with building careers in business.

The landscape and future of rugby union in England is uncertain. The roadmap for players below the Premiership is increasingly unclear and it is becoming more important for clubs to support their players in order to realise their potential, both on the field and in their professional career.

In support of our players and their careers, we are looking for Richmond supporters and members who are...

• willing to be a point of contact in their industry and able to have initial conversations with prospective and current players
• able to share contacts with their network
• prepared to offer mentoring

If you are considering joining Richmond and part of your requirement would be to find a job, then please speak to our Head Coach, Rob Powell via email. Similarly, if you can potentially support the career of a player or prospective player, please get in touch with Rob.

Richmond Rugby needs to stress that we cannot guarantee finding someone a job, but through our network we can provide the support and contacts to help initiate your search.
