Rotherham R.U.F.C.

Rotherham Rugby Union Football Club, or Rotherham Titans are a professional rugby union team from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, currently playing in the English RFU Championship.

Rotherham are one of the most successful clubs in English rugby history, having achieved multiple promotions up the league structure during a "phenomenal" "golden decade" in the 1990s and early 2000s. This meteoric rise ultimately culminated in two unsuccessful spells in the English Premiership. Rotherham are perhaps best known for the Rugby Football Union blocking their entry into the Premiership, their subsequent legal challenges, and a partially successful appeal to the Office of fair trading to break an alleged Premiership cartel.

Rotherham are now consistently a top 20 club in English rugby, with a reputation for being a breeding ground for developing talented players, including those who are overlooked by other top clubs such as David Strettle, Hendre Fourie and Erik Lund.
