Ella Moremon:

Ella Moremon, a former Cardinal Newman Catholic High School student, has always been a sports fan. For years, Ella played for the Warrington Wolves team, starting in the under 16’s and working her way up to the ladies team until she was unfortunately injured. Still as keen on a career in sport, Ella came to the college with a new idea, and took her first step towards her dream job as an international rugby coach.

Alongside her Level 3 Sport & Physical Activity course, Ella has been participating in an industry placement, leading PE sessions for children with special needs in the local community. It was here that she was scouted for a coaching position back at her beloved club, Warrington Wolves! Now, Ella is taking charge of 15 budding rugby players, and making solid plans for a successful future in the sporting industry.
