🚨🚨COACHING AND PHYSIO APPOINTMENTS🚨🚨🚨

Wheatley Hills RUFC would like to welcome our new coaching staff of Head Coach Craig Fawcett and Forwards Coach Andy Lund who have both recently enjoyed success coaching Pontefract RUFC taking them into the North East divisions.
Having both played good levels of rugby in both codes collectively they bring a vast bank of knowledge and experience to the Club.
Both coaches are excited about the prospect of taking recently promoted Wheatley Hills RUFC into their new campaign in Counties Two Yorkshire and the challenges that it may bring.
Craig stated that the team has a good foundation and that it should only take a few tweaks here and there to be match ready for the coming season.

Along with the coaching staff we would also like to welcome our newly appointed Physio Gabbi Storey, having worked at several major Rugby Union and Rugby League clubs Gabbi brings a wealth of experience with her.
We also welcome the appointment of Dave Chadwick who joins as Second XV physio.

The Committee and all of our members would like to wish everyone the very best for this season and the exiting times ahead.
