RUGBY league stars are being equipped with skills to enable them to move into off-the-pitch roles in professional sport thanks to a new diploma programme.

Warrington Wolves captain Adrian Morley is one of 12 who have signed up for the eight-week programme at UCFB College of Football Business, Burnley.


Led by former Great Britain and Oldham player Terry Flanagan, players on the rugby league executive education diploma will study modules in leadership and management, finance, law, marketing, media and PR.
