Utah Warriors Release

Rugby Utah Ventures is proud to announce the inclusion of the Utah Warriors to the Major League Rugby competition in 2018. Major League Rugby is America’s newest professional sports league, made up of seven teams across the country and will commence their first season starting Spring 2018.

Player signings and roster announcements will similarly be made in the coming weeks but it’s Kjar’s hope to tap into Utah’s immense depth of rugby talent and cross-over sports athletes.

“Rugby has a rich tradition in Utah,” Kjar said, “we’d be foolish to not keep our eyes out for young and experienced talent from along the Wasatch Front. But we also are open to finding that athletic diamond in the rough who is interested in trying their hand at rugby for the first time.”

Rugby Combine

As part of the plan to find local talent, the Utah Warriors will host their first official combine on October 28th at the Regional Athletic Complex. All athletes that are interested in playing rugby on a professional level are welcome and encouraged to participate in these open tryouts.

On the local level, The Utah Warriors have partnered with the Rugby Utah Men’s Premier Division to create a “minor league” competition where top talent from the state can develop with high-level competition and the potential of being signed to play professionally for the Utah Warriors squad.

The Utah Warriors preseason games will begin March 2018 with more details about the final schedule to come. For more information and to learn more about the Warriors, Major League Rugby and to join our Warriors mailing list visit www.WarrriorsRugby.com.
