Heritage Certificate Presentations

Every player who has ever played for the Sheffield Eagles is given a heritage number to mark the point they played for the Club. The Sheffield Eagles Heritage Project, is going to produce certificates for all players and present them over the next year.

On the evening of 17th February 2023 we were delighted to be able to welcome the player with heritage number one to the field to receive his certificate. Not only is Andy Tyers player number one but he is also Sheffield Eagles Chief Executive. Andy was presented with his certificate by Club President Chris Noble.

Andy then went on to present certificates to a number of players who played for the Eagles in the early 2000s or had connections with Jon Bruce who also received his certificate that night.
