Great to see the pathway paying dividends.

Yep, born and raised in south Wales.

They’re products of the Coleg y Cymoedd RL academy that runs in conjunction with Salford.

Billy has a proper RL upbringing, playing juniors at Aber Valley Wolves and Wales U16s and U19s.

Joe was a convert from RU in his late teens

Brilliant news.

Often hear of these pathways - but it’s truly great to see two players genuinely coming through. Sounds well organised- especially with Uni link up too.

Salford have a few of this pathways, international connections too.

The Welsh connections have been there a while  and hopefully will be the first of many.

Great news and goes to show there is talent out there if clubs show the willingness to look outside of the M62 corridor.
