Student Signs Contract with Warrington Wolves

Sport Student Olivia Signs Professional Contract with Warrington Wolves

We are extremely proud of Year 13 Sport student Olivia Webb who has recently signed a professional contract with Rugby League side, Warrington Wolves. Olivia has been playing rugby league for the last 7 years and first started playing for Warrington Academy in April 2023 after being spotted by one of their coaches training at Lancashire. Olivia, who plays at halfback, trains three times a week for the side and is hoping to become a regular in the starting 13 this season. She made her professional debut against St Helen’s on Sunday 7th April picking up a heritage number of 84. She was also named as a sub for their most recent game against Leeds Rhinos in the quarter final of the Betfred Challenge Cup.

Olivia is very excited to have been given this opportunity;

I couldn't have asked for college to have been any more supportive of me in allowing me to pursue my sporting goals. I have been able to incorporate my rugby into my coursework which has really helped me to manage my workload. I will always be grateful to the PE staff at OSFC for believing in me!

Olivia has been an exemplary student during her time at OSFC. Her enthusiasm and energy for the course, along with her smiley face around the building, highlights Olivia as a whole and not just as a promising student athlete. Alongside her studies and athletic excellence, Olivia has been a Sports Ambassador during her time here, volunteering to help out at events not only in and around the college but across the borough. We are so proud of Olivia and hope she continues on in her career with the same amazing attitude and vigour that she has shown here at OSFC. This is a much deserved achievement, due to her hard work and dedication.
