The Fulham Dream Rugby League Tackles London

In recent years, rugby league has gained significant popularity across the United Kingdom. This fast-paced and physically demanding sport has captivated fans from various corners of the country.

The Birth of a Dream

The Fulham Dream Rugby League was founded in 2020, with the aim of bringing the excitement and allure of rugby league to London. This ambitious project arose from the recognition that rugby league needed a stronger presence in the city, which is predominantly dominated by rugby union and football.

The brainchild behind The Fulham Dream was Tom Kirk, a passionate rugby league enthusiast. Having grown up in London himself, Tom witnessed numerous talented players lacking proper representation and opportunities in the rugby world. Determined to change this, he set out on a mission to establish a thriving rugby league club in the heart of London, a place where aspiring players could showcase their skills and dreams could be nurtured.
