Ukrainian Heritage Rugby League are seeking expressions of interest for players & sponsors for the coming Heritage Rugby League 9’s competition to be held on Saturday October 14th 2023 in Albion Park, NSW.

We are looking for all players with Ukrainian Heritage to help develop the pathways to the full international side and assist the growth of Rugby League in the Ukraine.

Ukraine Rugby League President Artur Martyrosian said “To continue our growth, the only option we have is this invitation to heritage players in Australia and England.»

Canberra Raiders forward Hudson Young and Penrith Panthers halfback Nathan Cleary are the best-known players with Ukraine heritage, while Cleary’s brother, Jett, is in the Panthers SG Ball team.

«We know about Hudson Young, we know about Nathan and his younger brother Jett, and other players who aren’t such big names in the rugby league world,» Martyrosian said.

If that is you or someone you may know don’t hesitate to send us a message or register your interest using the steps in the attached post.
