👏 Congratulations to Lewis Fusco, who was awarded the First XV Rodger Stichbury Players’ Player of the Year at our annual awards ceremony.

A fantastic accolade, voted for by his teammates, and thoroughly deserved after a truly outstanding season for both the First XV and Lewis personally. His consistent performances throughout the year were exceptional and also led to well-earned Lancashire U20 honours.

Well done, Lewis! 👏🏉

⚡Nathaniel Barkowski Martin

Southport RFC are delighted to announce that Nathaniel Barkowski Martin will be part of the club’s senior playing squad for the 2026/27 season.

Nathaniel is truly one of our own, having progressed through the Southport RFC youth section before enjoying an outstanding campaign last season with Scarisbrick Hall School and our successful Southport Colts side.

Nathaniel’s achievements last season included:

• Colts League title winner
• Lancashire Schools Cup finalist
• U18 Colts Semi-finalist
• Lancashire U18s representative
• First XV debut at just 17 years old

Nathaniel marked his First XV debut in style, scoring a stunning 60-metre try and showing exactly why he is regarded as one of the most exciting young players coming through the club.

Blessed with an impressive skillset, Nathaniel combines natural ability with an exceptional work rate, strong communication skills and a real dedication to improving every aspect of his game. These qualities make him a fantastic asset to the squad and an exciting prospect for the future.

Nathaniel’s journey is a brilliant example of the strength of our youth section and the pathway available to young players at Southport RFC. He joins a growing group of talented youngsters making their mark in senior rugby and continues to be an excellent role model for the next generation.
