The appointment will in addition oversee a new coaching team and support staff who will be responsible for the Second XI, Academy and Pathways. Applications for a number of coaching positions will be advertised in due course.
The Club is also looking to recruit up to 6 Non-Executive Directors who are representative of the communities the Club serves, who are committed to the Board’s aim to tackle discrimination and racism, passionate about excellent governance, and willing to offer a range of professional skills and experience.
