Following the retirement of long-standing Director of Rugby, Chris Davey and with WRU/Cardiff Met Hub Officer, Louis Messer moving on, we are pleased to announce a new coaching structure for 17-18. Danny Milton takes over as Director of Rugby, Ian Gardner, the Director of Rugby at Bedwas RFC, becomes BUCS Super Rugby Head Coach and Chris Ower (WRU) joins coaching team. We are also fortunate to be able to call upon George Earle (Cardiff Blues) as an attached coach.

Alun Williams and Dr Gethin Thomas continue their invaluable work across all Club programmes and we welcome Laurence Weekley to the Club. While we wait on a replacement Hub Officer, we are delighted to welcome back alumnus Dai Morgan to oversee the Freshers' XV and Youth XV.

The programme also benefits from student input. The coaching team includes Rhys Pritchard (PhD) and undergraduates Morgan Lewis, Adam Dove and Thomas Griffiths. Dai Watts and Chris Edwards provide the Strength and Conditioning, while Dr Matt Attwood (Lecturer in SCRaM) is the Club Physiotherapist. Performance Analysis is another student-led provision, with third-year undergaduates Emma Coghill and Matt Hind. The programme is supported by our Lifestyle and Wellbeing Advisor, Aled Lewis, who has recently added the role of Assistant Honorary Secretary to his remit.
