Player Development

The Player Development Division at MyPlayers exists to empower the person behind the player, supporting professional rugby players to thrive both during and beyond their playing careers.

Our holistic support strategy empowers players by integrating personal growth, dual career pathways and wellbeing into a unified development framework. By fostering self-awareness and life skills like financial literacy, we enable players to take ownership of their lives while simultaneously guiding them toward educational and entrepreneurial opportunities that ensure stability after rugby. Underpinning this is a commitment to mental and emotional health, providing the professional resources and safe spaces necessary to build the resilience required for success both during and beyond their sporting careers.

The division conducts regular team visits, provides guidance and representation on employment issues, manages communication with representatives and supports disciplinary processes, including on-field citings and doping cases. In addition, Rugby Operations ensures members are informed about relevant legislation, regulations, agents and available benefits while also overseeing the distribution of Players’ Charity funds.
