Doncaster get their man at last!
Doncaster Rugby Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Clive Griffiths as its new Director of Rugby following his departure from the role of defence coach with the Welsh national team.
Clive Griffiths was first appointed to the Wales management team in July, 2001. Capped by Wales in both Union and League codes, he also played for Llanelli, the Barbarians, St Helens and Salford. He coached St Helens, Warrington, Wales and the Great Britain Rugby League sides before returning to Union to coach London Welsh, Swansea and the Newport Gwent Dragons before joining the national set up. Born Swansea, he was capped against England in 1979.
Clive said: “I am of course disappointed at leaving international rugby because it has played a major part of my professional coaching career and life over the past 16 years; but I now look forward with huge anticipation to taking up a new challenge within a vibrant club environment at Castle Park. I watched Doncaster play Nottingham recently. Not only are the 20 acre facilities excellent, there is a buzz about the place, plenty of intent and ambition both on and off the field and the basis of a really good team is there already. I am confident that I can help to realise the club’s ambitions."
Steve Lewis, Chief Executive of the Welsh Rugby Union said: "Clive played a major role in the 2005 Wales Grand Slam and should take great credit in Welsh rugby's current good health. His hard work and technical expertise produced an excellent defensive record for Wales”.
Clive takes up his appointment at Doncaster on 1st June and his immediate focus will be to finalise a playing squad for next season.
