No. Halifax RLFC Ltd in Halifax is no longer on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors (removed on 21 August 2026), and Companies House shows the company has ceased trading. It cannot sponsor new visa applications. ### When did Halifax RLFC Ltd leave the sponsor register? Halifax RLFC Ltd left the register on 21 August 2026. Companies House shows the company was winding up or had ceased trading. GOV.UK gives no reason, so this does not establish why the licence ended. ### What visa routes can Halifax RLFC Ltd sponsor? Halifax RLFC Ltd was licensed for International Sportsperson. Its licence rating on the register is "Worker (A rating)". ### Where is Halifax RLFC Ltd based? The register lists Halifax RLFC Ltd at Halifax. This is usually the head office; the job itself may be somewhere else. ### How current is this information?
