A specialist recruitment firm has joined the pack.

Huddersfield RUFC has announces a new partnership with XCL Management, which specialises in recruitment into the construction, facilities management, environmental and engineering sectors.

XCL Management has offices in Manchester and Bristol and will open an office at Lockwood Park this month.

David Gallagher, managing director of XCL Management, used to sponsor both the rugby union club and Huddersfield Town when he ran Prime Time Recruitment.

Mr Gallagher said: “I am delighted to be linking up to the club once again, having had a very good and fruitful relationship with them when I owned Prime Time Recruitment.

“I look forward to rebuilding all our strong ties and forging new ones and seeing HRUFC have a great season.”

HRUFC general manager Stuart Leach said: “We are pleased to have XCL Management on board as a partner for National 2 North 2015/16 season.

“We have a long standing relationship with David and Ewan Gallagher and welcome them back to Lockwood Park.”
