Titans look for new owners

In a shock statement, Nick Cragg and Martin Jenkinson have today announced that they want to step back from their custodianship of the club. They are inviting interested parties and individuals to come forward.

The Titans are searching for the right calibre of new ownership that can accelerate the club's objectives and who will provide both leadership and support benefiting the interests of the club, the players and the supporters.

Chairman Nick Cragg said: “We are immensely proud of our achievements in taking the Titans to a top 4 Championship club over the last ten years.

"The club’s journey doesn’t end here; with the anticipation of the Rugby World Cup in England in September, plus the announcement of additional financial support from the RFU for the forthcoming season, there has never been a better time for the next generation to come forward and take the reins.”

Cragg and Jenkinson are passionate about the club’s prospects and firmly believe the Titans represent an exciting opportunity for new owners with vision, passion and funding to take the club to the next level. Without any doubt, the prospective new owners can capitalise on the club’s solid foundations and drive the Titans toward promotion to the Premiership.

Martin Jenkinson added: “Running a Championship level club in Rotherham has required commitment and hard work; this is neither an affluent nor a traditional rugby area.

"Over the last 10 years we have built solid and lasting relationships with the business community, the local authority and the amateur club overcoming many of the challenges we faced upon taking ownership. We now need fresh ideas and support if the club is to continue to produce the level of rugby that we all love to see.”
