Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010


The Co-operative, sponsors of The Co-operative Championships and Conference, and Official Partner of the RFL, has signed Jamie Rooney alongside Paul Sculthorpe to form their 2010 ambassador line-up.
Now a full-time player in the Co-operative Championships Jamie, the former Wakefield Trinity Wildcats Super League player and Featherstone Rovers playmaker, is making his trademark high scoring impact on the leagues, helping 2009 Champions Barrow Raiders defend their title.
Rooney (30), who still holds the record for the most points scored in a single season for Featherstone Rovers, joins Paul Sculthorpe, one of the most recognisable names in the sport and the only player to be named Man of Steel in consecutive seasons, in the new look line-up for 2010.
Liz Matkin, The Co-operative Group’s Head of Sponsorship, said: “We are delighted to have signed Jamie alongside Scully for this year. Jamie is a respected player in the Co-operative Championships with Barrow Raiders. We are very pleased Paul has agreed to sign for a second year as our ambassador for 2010. They both reflect and support our ‘Good For Everyone’ vision, where community and healthy values are so important.”The Co-operative has been title sponsors of the Co-operative Championships since 2007 and official partner of the RFL since 2008.
