Chris Crowley has been appointed 1st XV captain ahead of the 2022/23 season

With Craig Harvey stepping down from his role as club captain, Chris Crowley has been appointed his successor. Chris has played at a high level throughout his rugby career. Chris has come through the ranks at Wirral, he then played for Leeds University, traveled and played over in Australia, and represented Cheshire at Twickenham. Chris is a leading figure for the 1XV and has been rewarded for his years of service and commitment to the club.

When asked about taking over the captaincy Chris said 'It's a huge honor to captain the club I have played for since the age of 5. I am looking forward to the new season with a talented bunch of lads'

Head coach Craig Harvey spoke highly about the new captain ' Chris has led from the front for a number of seasons now and it's been a matter of time before he took over as captain. He's a born leader on and off the pitch and he has the full respect of all the players. Everyone at the club is behind you, Chris!'
