Arthur "Artie" V. Royle was an English rugby union footballer of the 1880s. He played at representative level for England, and at club level for Broughton Rangers,[1] as a fullback, i.e. number 15. Prior to 2 June 1896, Broughton Rangers was a rugby union club.
Playing career
International honours
Arthur Royle won a cap for England while at Broughton Rangers in 1889 against New Zealand Natives.[2]
Change of Code
When Broughton Rangers converted from the rugby union code to the rugby league code on 2 June 1896, Arthur Royle would have likely been in his twenties. Consequently, he may have been both a rugby union and rugby league footballer for Broughton Rangers.
