New Zealand Hall first came to England to play for Doncaster in 1988, and currently works as the club’s chief executive.RFL chairman Brian Barwick added:Tony Adams is known and respected throughout sport and beyond, not only for his outstanding playing career with Arsenal, but more recently for his pioneering work with Sporting Chance. The charity has helped more than 400 rugby league players since the RFL entered into an official partnership with Sporting Chance in 2011, and Tony himself delivered seminars at Wigan and Hull earlier this year.The game has recognised the importance of mental health, for players and everyone else involved, and Tonys election is another significant step in that regard.I also welcome the election as vice-president of Carl Hall, who has given so much to British rugby league since arriving here from New Zealand 30 years ago. This is well-deserved recognition for him, and for the Doncaster club.”
