Whitehaven Rugby League can today confirm the departure of Liam Cooper from the LEL Arena bringing to an end his second spell with the club.
Cooper has made 63 appearances in the chocolate, blue and gold after initially joining the club on loan from St Helens in 2018 and in his two spells with the club he has scored 10 tries having re-joined the club for the start of the 2021 season but work commitments now means he will depart the LEL Arena.
Interim CEO Ashley Kilpatrick spoke of Cooper’s departure saying “I had a good conversation with Ronnie on Friday afternoon, I totally understand his decision he’s got a new job and with the hours he will be working it won’t give him enough time to get up for training. Liam’s been here for 2 full season now as well as his loan spell he had in 2018 and has been brilliant for us. He’s gutted he has to leave as he holds the club very close to his heart but has to think of life after rugby with his work.
I wish Ronnie all the best in his future with rugby and work.”
