Widnes Vikings are pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew Horabin to the Board of Directors. 

Horabin, 50, joins the Board as a Director and Shareholder following clearance of due diligence by the club and the Rugby Football League.

He is a lifelong Widnes fan, lives in the town, and serves as Company Director at Affordable Contract Services, having founded the company. He has over 20 years of experience helping businesses in the UK.

Having previously worked as a ball boy, turnstile operator, and programme seller at Naughton Park, Andy is well integrated with the club, the town, and the people of Widnes.

On his appointment, Horabin said: “I’m a lifelong Widnes fan, first and foremost. I’ve lived in Widnes all my life, and I’m proud to say I’m Widnes born and bred.

“I run my own building and maintenance business, where we always try to employ local people from our town. Supporting and helping our local community is something I’ve always been passionate about.”

He added: “Becoming a shareholder in the club has been a lifelong dream and ambition of mine. It makes both me and my family incredibly proud to be able to support Widnes Vikings in this way.

“I’ve witnessed the club go through the highs and lows over the years, and I’m committed to playing my part in driving us forward to more momentous occasions.

“My ultimate goal is to help get Widnes back into Super League, with the backing of our loyal supporters and local businesses. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and working together to make that dream a reality.”

We look forward to introducing Andy to the Vikings faithful soon.

Hope he has plenty of cash 😍
