Couldn't Ikram Butt become involved to develop the potential in the local schools?
If you are in a roundabout way refereeing to the old nugget of the getting the local Asian Population interested in the game ...????
Its a massive ask , and while he is not involved with any of the Foundation Schools Programme , Your Sporting Chance based at the Club does have Ash Choudry , a highly experienced local Youth worker , as operations manager . Ash has taken on the voluntary role of Equality and Diversity Officer for the club alongside his other duties with YSC and has plenty of valuable contacts within the local Community.
Also I'm aware the Foundation has an excellent working relationship with Saima Hussain, Saima was a winger of the Keighley Cats Ladies team for many years and also the first Asian Female to take up Open Age Rugby League , her skills eventually finding her a place on the GB team. She has worked in sports development for many years and is always happy to help and advise her home town Pro Club in voluntary capacity.
Small steps but in the right direction..
