Celtic Crusaders have struck a deal with Welsh television channel S4C to screen some of their home games. The deal has been finalised following negotiations with Sky Sports, who own the TV rights to the National League.
The first match to be shown will be the Crusaders's match with Barrow on 9 June, with three further home games to be screened subject to confirmation.
Celtic Crusaders say the deal will also see the broadcaster investing in the club's youth academy.
"The agreement with S4C is another example of the growing interest in the Celtic Crusaders and rugby league in Wales," said Celtic Crusaders chief executive David Thompson.
The Crusaders's ultimate ambition is to be awarded one of the Super League's two expansion franchises in 2009.
