Director of Rugby Andrew Moreland said of the appointment:

"I am really pleased to be able to welcome Tony to the club, with his addition the coaching set up is complete, the video analysis for me, is a key area where we will be able to identify specific areas of our game that we need to work on and Tony has great expertise in this field."

"In addition to this, Tony will be following up that analysis with coaching sessions on Tuesdays with us as well as, we hope, working on our community programme too."
