#PathFinders

We speak to Ian Blease about his story; from aspiring footballer to part-time rugby league player at Salford in the pre-professional era, juggling a day job in construction with the intense physical and mental fitness required to compete at the highest levels of sport.
​Ian Blease is the Director of Rugby and Operations at Salford Red Devils. Already a club legend from his playing days with the Salford rugby league outfit in the 1980s and 1990s, Ian returned to the club in 2016 to take up a senior role in the boardroom. During his tenure, he has helped transform the fortunes of the Super League side, with successes including a 3rd place finish in the league, a trip to the Grand Final, and a Challenge Cup final.
PathFinders is an original series uncovering squiggly career journeys, unexpected opportunities, professional pivots, work/life challenges & successes, to showcase that there is no such thing as a ‘typical career path’.
