Following a rigorous selection process carried out by key elements of the playing section we have appointed a new Head Coach plus 2 player coaches

Marcus Tobin has returned to the club as Head Coach, he played for us between 86 & 94
He was an ever present in the side who won promotion in the season 91/92
He has since then developed his coaching career in Rugby League and latterly with Hackney RFU, securing promotion with them from London NW3 in season 16/17
Marcus is joined by two player coaches, John Robinson and Joey Mbu, both of whom have played regularly at level 6 and above and are now seeking to develop their own coaching credentials
John will add considerable experience to the forward game, he is happy to play in a number of positions. He brings a National League 1 background to help us develop the forward aspect of the game. Still in his early 30's John has a few years of playing left in him but his primary aim is to progress our game as forwards coach
Joe brings another dynamic to the team. he played over 100 games in rugby leagues Superleague then coached in that code for a further 5 years before transferring across to union in 2015. He has held coaching positions at Staines and Eton Manor RFC and will add a another dimension to the club both on and off the pitch
