  Cus genova rugby

  Aug 2023 - Feb 2024

  Director of rugby

  Delighted to be asked to join CUS Genova, who I played for back in 1982, to help them develop as a club both on and off the field.Sadly after 6 months in the role it became apparent that my wife Sue could not get a visa to allow her to continue to live in Italy and so, regretfully, it was necessary for both of us to return to England.
