Halifax Panthers have announced that former Calderdale College student, and England Women’s National Rugby League player, Amy Hardcastle, has been appointed as the Halifax Panther’s Women’s and Girls’ Rugby League Development Officer.

Amy studied Level 2 Sport & Coaching Development at the College, leaving with a Distinction and two Merits before studying at the University of Huddersfield.
