In January 2019, Keighley Cougars Rugby club was saved from the brink of extinction by Ryan O’Neill and his husband Kaue Garcia.
The married couple became the first, and still to this date, only openly LGBTQ+ owners of a professional sports club outside of the United States of America.
Since taking over the club they've used their platform to champion LGBTQ+ rights, create a more inclusive sporting environment and have raised nearly six figures for LGBTQ+ charities, and will continue to do so as they look to make Keighley a united town, and Rugby League a united sport.
