Cardiff RFC are seeking a new head coach following Justin Burnell’s summer elevation to become forwards coach at regional side Cardiff Blues.

Backs coach Gareth Baber also moved up to the Blues during the close season, while skills coach Danny Wilson left the Arms Park for London Welsh.

“We are endeavouring to carefully restructure a new coaching team this season and we now have Lee Jarvis in place with the backs and Howard Stone continuing his role with the forwards” said Cardiff team manager Gafyn Cooper.

He added, “There is now an opportunity for an outstanding and talented individual to take up the position of Head Coach and also have forward coaching responsibilities with one of the world’s most famous rugby clubs.”

Cooper explained that the successful applicant would have a proven track record in coaching at an elite level and also a high degree of management and interpersonal skills.
