Wales Rugby League are pleased to announce the appointment of Liam Price as a Non-Executive Director.
Liam brings a wealth of project management, technical services, and governance expertise to the role. He currently serves as a Project Manager with the Global Facilities Service Group, OCS, where he delivers complex, large-scale projects across the BBC estate in Wales and the West of England, specialising in budget oversight, stakeholder management, risk mitigation, and strategic decision-making.
In addition to his professional background, Liam is already a prominent figure in Wales Rugby League. In 2021, he founded South Wales Jets RLFC, growing the club to encompass junior, youth, girls, wheelchair, and senior teams. Building on this success, he established the West Wales Jets in 2025 to expand participation and development opportunities across the region.
Speaking on his appointment, Liam Price said: “I’m genuinely proud to have been asked to join the Wales Rugby League Board. Rugby league has become a massive part of my life and I care enormously about where the game goes next in Wales.
“I think I bring a slightly different perspective because I see rugby league from both sides. Professionally I manage projects, budgets, risk and stakeholders, but at club level I understand the reality of what volunteers go through every week just to get players onto a rugby pitch.
“The people running clubs are the heartbeat of the game. There are coaches, volunteers and administrators across Wales putting in ridiculous amounts of time because they love rugby league. We have to make sure those people feel supported.
“I’m not joining the Board simply to agree with everything. A good Board needs people who are prepared to ask questions, challenge decisions and offer different opinions, but ultimately everyone around that table has to be pulling in the same direction.
“I am obviously incredibly proud of what we have built with the Jets, but when I am sitting on the WRL Board my responsibility is to Welsh rugby league as a whole. There will naturally be situations where I have a conflict and, when that happens, I will step away from those discussions. That is part of good governance.
“I don’t think anyone should pretend Welsh rugby league doesn’t have challenges, because it does. But I also think the opportunity is probably bigger than people realise. There are players who want to play, volunteers who want to help and communities that will support rugby league if we give them something worth supporting.”
Wales Rugby League chairman James Davies said: “Liam understands the game from the perspective of someone who has built a club from the ground up. Alongside that, his professional career has given him extensive experience in project management, governance, budgets, risk and the delivery of complex projects.
“Just as importantly, Liam understands the people who make our sport happen. He knows first-hand the commitment required from volunteers and the challenges clubs face week in, week out. That experience gives him a strong understanding of what Wales Rugby League needs at grassroots level.
“We want our Board to bring together people with different experiences and perspectives who are prepared to challenge each other and help move the sport forward. Liam has strong views on how the grassroots game can develop, and we now have an opportunity to draw on his experience and ideas as we look at how we can strengthen rugby league in the communities we serve.”
