Vodafone | Pride of Your League

As well as Open Age coaching responsibilities on top of committee work, Ryan also assists with the U10s coaching team & the Nippers 3-5 year old coaching programme.Ryan is also a part of the Bradford Bulls Foundation, I personally don’t believe there is a person that contributes more to the growth of the amateur & Junior game in Bradford for Rugby League. Every decision he makes is with the thought of Rugby League at the forefront of his mind.

Lewis has single handedly run the club between 2018 and 2021 before finally receiving assistance in 2022 easing the pressure. He still takes a leading role in the running of the club including all fundraising, event management, match day admin and player welfare as well as playing for the men's open age too. He takes time out from his busy work and family life to attend meetings both rugby league and community related. He oversaw 25k worth of improvements in the clubhouse and changing rooms in 2020.

Better known as 'Adge' he has been in love with Hull Kingston Rovers for going on 50 years. He is now 60 years Old. Founder of the Rovers Supporters Group, he along with Keith Lyons played a massive part in saving the club in the 1990s years of hardship and administration. He organises trips away and fundraising events and we’ve have travelled all over with him for 17 years - from every magic weekend to France he even went to Toronto. He is loved by all at the club - fans, staff, players and owner.

David does so much work for the rugby league family!! Spending unmeasurable hours to make sure every individual as an opportunity to play our great game no matter what the platform. Whether it be the Men’s, Women’s or Wheelchair formats, he’s there donating his time for others!! Either playing himself or doing the unenviable task of officiating, or actually organising competitions!! Numerous players and officials have had the benefit of David’s knowledge, experience and guidance.

Scott has been involved at the club for many years as a player and supporter. He now gives his time as coach to our under 7’s as well as general upkeep of the club from week to week, repairs, maintenance, you name it. His hard work and support is integral to the successful running of our club. Everything he does is with the future success of the club in mind and he has the biggest heart it is possible to have! He always gives and never takes and this is why I think he deserves to win.

James is our Under 6's coach and he goes above and beyond for his team and their families. James is supportive, kind, encouraging and fair. He shares in the joy with our children when they have scored a try or a tackle. Along with us as their parents he is our children's biggest supporter. James turns up every week without fail, even when matters in his personal life would absolutely permit absence, he is always there with a smile on his face. To James rugby is not just a game, it's a family.

This person deserves to win this award as the work he does for our great club is unbelievable. He's managed to get the club grants to get a new patio area, have our floodlights upgraded on the reserves pitch and he's also gained funding for a new kitchen to allow us to update our facilities. He gained funding for the memorial garden to remember past members who have passed away. He's done all this as well as gained funding for teams to get new playing kits and he's done all this while recovering from cancer.
