The Saluzzo Roosters, formerly known as the North West Roosters, are a rugby league club based in Saluzzo, Piedmont, Italy. Founded in 2010 as a rugby union club, the Roosters changed to playing rugby league in 2015.[1] [2] They currently compete in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA) division of the French National Division 2. As of 2019 they have since switched back to Rugby Union.[3]
The Roosters became the first Italian rugby league club to play in a foreign competition when they joined the PACA division of the National Division 2, France's fourth-tier rugby league competition, for the 2016/17 season.[4] Coached by Elio Giacoma, the team sported Gioele Celerino and Mirco Bergamasco in their final match,[5] [6] which was their only win of the competition.[7]
