Backgrpound
Martin Oglanby was born in Cumbria, England.
Playing career
As a professional
.Oglanby played in the Premiership Finals for Workington at Old Trafford in 1993 and in 1994, tasting victory in the latter as Town beat London Crusaders 30-22, as Town thrived under the magnificent coaching of Peter Walsh. Oglanby had already been named the division's player of the year at the sport's Man of Steel presentation, as he helped Town win the division and gain promotion to the Big League.
Unfortunately shortly into Town's successful division one campaign of 1994-95, Oglanby suffered a shoulder injury that forced him to retire, but he still provided one of the highlights of the season for the club in scoring a wonderful try in the opening match of the season, as Town came within a whisker of beating the much-fancied Leeds, losing 16-22 to a couple of late tries. Playing in the unusual position of stand-off, Oglanby was more than a match for the Great Britain international Garry Schofield.
He was a noted amateur player and received representative honours as a BARLA Great Britain international.[2]
He has coached at Aspatria, Glasson and Maryport, and at national level he was the assistant coach of the Great Britain Under-21 team in 2008 and was the assistant coach of the GB Under-23 side that played against the Ukraine.
Oglandby and Gary Charlton replaced Dave Rotherham to become joint head coaches of Workington Town in July 2009. The duo led the club to the Grand Final of 2011, where they lost to Keighley Cougars.
