Patrick (or Pat) Rich is an English former semi-professional rugby league player who represented Oldham Roughyeds RLFC in the Northern Ford Premiership (later National League One in the National Leagues).
[edit] Playing career
Starting his career as a loose forward at Keighley Cougars[1], Pat subsequently moved to Oldham where his biggest impact came during the 2001 season and, in particular, his contribution with the boot which helped his side to the Northern Ford Premiership semi-final win 39-32 over Rochdale Hornets when he kicked nine out of nine goal attempts [2]. Sadly his trademark accuracy deserted him in the Grand Final and he was unable to secure the points needed with Neil Kelly's Widnes Vikings running out victors 24-12 [3].
During his first spell at Oldham, Pat was the club's most consistent goal kicker since the 1960s,[4] shortly afterwards Pat left the North Western club to pursue a career in the law. Although he returned for brief spells with Sheffield Eagles, London Skolars and finally Oldham for some 14 games in 2004[5][6], he no longer plays competitive football.
Nevertheless, despite his brief spell as an Oldham player, Pat is highly regarded by Roughyeds fans for his contributions[7].
