Crusaders under 18s

The new side is being coached by Andy Lindley, who has been involved in Welsh Rugby League at junior level coaching for nearly ten years and was one of the founders of this year’s Welsh Rugby League Conference Premier champions Valley Cougars back in 2001. He will be assisted by Stuart Williams, the current assistant coach of the successful Crusaders Colts side, Aled James, the Celtic Crusaders and Wales international centre and John Trickey, Cardiff Demons and Wales A forward and coach of the UWIC university rugby league side..

“The brand new Celtic Crusaders under 18s squad is a wonderful opportunity for these young men to play and learn in a Super League environment on their doorstep,” he said.

“Players like Aled James and Gareth Dean played under 18 rugby league in Wales but they eventually had to go up north to further their careers. This doesn’t need to happen now as we have provided a pathway here in Wales that will give players an opportunity to follow their dreams and pursue a professional Rugby League career.

“There is a lot of rugby league talent in Wales waiting to be unearthed and through this under 18 side, along with our seven regional home-grown squads, the future of Welsh rugby league is starting to become more and more secure as time goes on.”
