Kennedy Cherrington joined the Women’s Player Advisory Group in 2023.

In June 2025, Kennedy joined the RLPA Board as a player Director.

“I am really proud to be joining the RLPA Board as a player Director,” says Kennedy.

“For many years now, I have witnessed firsthand what the RLPA has achieved for players — how quickly they’ve been able to advance rights for female and male players, and how they’ve unified all players and relentlessly defended us.

“The RLPA is the players, and they give us a voice. To be able to serve on the RLPA Board is a huge privilege and a responsibility I do not take lightly.

“I would like to thank the RLPA Chair, Steven Harker AM, for welcoming me alongside all my fellow Directors. I am committed to representing all players with passion, integrity, and respect — and to making sure player voices are heard when it matters most.”
