One of its initiatives that garnered praise from across the game is the launch of Alnwick Bears RLFC in answer to the demand for the sport in the area.

Rockets Community’s role is to support the development of both the Rockets and Bears and the newly-appointed coach will be responsible for building on the work carried out in the last two years in the market town that earlier this year saw its first ever rugby league competition take place.

“We are very excited to be able to expand once again,” said community manager Steven Beaty.
