VALKYRIE ADD AFRICAN STAR
YORK VALKYRIE have broken new ground by signing Ugandan centre or backrower, Peace Lekuru.
The move has come about through coach Lindsay Anfield’s continued involvement in introducing Rugby League to Africa through the Tag Rugby Trust.
Over the past 20 years, Anfield has led six tours to Uganda and Kenya, with the most recent trip being in 2023, the year a partnership between the club and Uganda Rugby League was set up. That year twelve players from the Valkyrie travelled to the African country to help coach and support URL around the time of their season finals, where Lekuru led the Entebbe Baleen to victory.
