Crusaders Undergo Name Change
03 Nov 2009 | tshego
Welsh Super League club have dropped ‘Celtic’ from their name and will now be known as Crusaders Rugby League.
The name change coincides with their move from Bridgend’s Brewery Field to Rodney Parade in Newport.
Crusaders chief executive Mike Turner said: ‘We’ve been working hard on building a club that represents Wales and not just one area.
‘In the past we’ve been associated a little too much with the old rugby union region Celtic Warriors.’
The club are making a fresh start after finishing bottom of the table in their first season of Super League.
Formed as Celtic Crusaders in 2005, the club have also changed their logo to a new modern design that has the Prince of Wales feathers on a St David’s cross background.
