Pathways

Since the Club’s inception in 1988, the Newcastle Knights have been a nursery for rugby league talent throughout the region. The Knights proudly provide a pathway from juniors through to the NRL and NRLW.

Centre of Excellence

Our investment of over $23 million has made it possible for the Newcastle Knights to relocate to their brand-new, state-of-the-art Centre of Excellence at Broadmeadow. This investment is expected to surpass $30 million when completed, making it one of the most significant sporting infrastructure projects in the region. The high-performance training base for elite men and women will be the home ground for the next generation of Knights stars, and a facility the entire community can call home. Jointly funded by the NSW Government and the Wests Group (Wests), the facility will be managed and maintained by Wests at a cost of $1.2m per year. All commercial investments generated by the facility will be reinvested into the funding of facilities for ongoing community use.
