Jim Naylor is another great product of the school and club links, attending Crossley Heath and then progressing into Colts rugby at Old Crossleyans, before making the step-up to Senior rugby.

Jim went professional and played for Rotherham Titans, Newcastle Falcons and Orrell. He also played rugby league for Halifax Blue-Sox. But it was his spell at Newcastle that proved to be the most successful.

Jim played alongside many stellar names, such as a certain Mr Wilkinson and shared the 2 wing berths with Tony Underwood and Vaiga Tuigamala.
