Adam Malcolm will be stepping down from his position as Non‑Executive Director of Wales Rugby League following a period of significant contribution to the organisation’s commercial and strategic development.
Adam joined the Board in 2022, and from the outset, he played a pivotal role in shaping and delivering the commercial strategies that have supported the growth and sustainability of our national programmes.
During his tenure, Adam was instrumental in securing partnerships that strengthened our programmes’ progress over the last few years.
Adam has now decided to step back to focus on his professional commitments and family life. We fully respect this decision and extend our sincere thanks for his dedication, expertise, and the impact he has made.
James Davies, Chair of Wales Rugby League, said: “Adam delivered on every promise he made when he joined the Board. His commercial insight, his energy, and his belief in what rugby league can achieve in Wales have been invaluable. He has been a key figure in helping us move forward as an organisation, and whilst we fully respect his decision to step down, he will always remain someone we can call upon for his visionary ideas as we continue to grow the sport.”
Richard Hibbard, CEO of Wales Rugby League, added: “Adam’s contribution has been significant and deeply appreciated. He brought clarity, ambition, and a genuine passion for supporting our athletes and programmes. His work has strengthened our foundations and helped position Wales Rugby League for long‑term success. We thank him for everything he has done and wish him the very best as he focuses on his family and professional commitments.”
A structured handover of Adam’s responsibilities will take place over the coming weeks to ensure continuity and support for the incoming appointees.
