One New Zealand Warriors CEO Cameron George has hailed a breakthrough partnership formed with the City of Logan to set up an academy and a community programme in South East Queensland.

The joint venture was unveiled today by Logan City mayor Jon Raven who announced the academy would offer an elite training and talent identification programme as well as a community initiative to help young people connect with sport and career opportunities outside football.

“This is a huge development for us as a club, a great opportunity to spread our presence into South East Queensland which is a real hotbed for rugby league talent,” said George, who was in Logan for today’s announcement.

“Our elite academy for boys and girls in Logan will provide a direct pathway to the New Zealand Warriors’ NRL and NRLW teams.

“It’s a two-pronged approach between Logan City and the One New Zealand Warriors to work with the community for better outcomes for locals though work programmes and to form a rugby league academy to create another pathway for young boys and girls to chase their dreams.

“We have a network of academies throughout New Zealand doing a terrific job and see a real opportunity with this partnership to connect with New Zealanders in Australia.

“We’re excited about what lies ahead and we really appreciate Logan City’s support.”

These guys running the Warriors are ahead of all of us. This is wayyy ahead of our thinking.

I mean I have been banging on about having good recruiters in Australia for years, but to have an academy is well ahead of that thinking.
