Cool-A-Bah provide work opportunity to new recruit

Tweed Seagulls RLFC are proud to announce that one of our premier sponsors, Cool-A-Bah Cooling & Electrical, has provided newly recruited player Jay Kirk a full-time position within their team.

This exciting partnership highlights Cool-A-Bah’s ongoing commitment to supporting not only the Tweed Seagulls but also the personal and professional development of our players.

Bill Townsend, passionate rugby league fan & Director of Cool-A-Bah Cooling & Electrical stated “Well it’s really hard to get good staff, and I got talking to a few of the Seagulls boys and they said we’ve got this bloke called Jay coming up from Sydney. I said oh yeah I’ll take a look at him and I saw his picture and thought he’s a good looking lad, so he’ll fit in well here cause we are good looking bunch of blokes so we thought we’d give me a crack and he’s killing it. He’s been here a week and we’re loving it, the boys and the team love having him here and he’s fit in really well”

Jay Kirk, who has recently joined the Seagulls ahead of the 2025 season after spending time in the West Tigers system, will now be balancing his rugby league career with a rewarding role at Cool-A-Bah Cooling & Electrical. This unique opportunity allows Kirk to focus on his rugby league development while also building on his career off the field thanks to Cool-A-Bah Cooling & Electrical.

“Yeah it’s good, the culture here is good, the boys are young and having a boss like Bill everyone gets along and work gets done. It’s a good balance between mates and working to get stuff done. I am really enjoying it and having fun, there’s upsides to all of it and keen to keep working hard for Bill and putting in for the company” Kirk said.

Corporate & Community Manager at Tweed Seagulls RLFC Brad Birney stated “Bill Townsend is a true champion of the Tweed Seagulls RLFC. You’ll find Bill at just about every game and event, always bringing his positive energy and enthusiasm that’s hard to miss. Bill doesn’t stop at just showing up—he’s gone above and beyond to support the club. He’s even helped bring other partners on board, showing how much he believes in what we’re building together.

Recently, Bill took it a step further by giving one of our new recruits, Jay, a start as an electrician. It’s just another example of how Bill’s passion for the Seagulls extends beyond the field.

We’re so lucky to have Bill as part of the Seagulls family, and we can’t wait for more years of his support—and plenty more of his legendary yarns”
