The Rugby Football League (RFL) has signed a five-year partnership with digital solutions ageny, SportsTG

The partnership will launch a competition and participant management system across both grassroots and professional levels of the sport.

We are driving through some considerable change currently in an effort to deliver great Rugby League experiences in everything that we do, and this is a significant step.

“In particular, we want to help busy volunteers, who give so much to Rugby League, to save time, and to benefit from greater insight into player behaviour and retention. By giving our clubs and leagues the best tools to help run leagues and competitions, we will give even greater value to participants, volunteers and administrators.”
