Press Release. 2nd May 2008
After a long association with Southend Rugby Football Club Kevin Harman, their Director of Rugby, is moving on to pastures new.
He has been appointed 1st team manager of London Wasps; one of Europe’s leading clubs and the current European Champion’s.
Kevin has been at Southend for many years, both as a player and coach. He has taken the club from London 3 north east league to a successful year in the National 2 where we finished in mid-table. This has been achieved in 7 years, an unprecedented rise up the rugby leagues.
His hard work and support for the club will be remembered for many years and the club wishes him well in his new job. He will remain involved with the club in a Player Development Role and through his two sons who play in the Southend Mini Section.
We are pleased to announce that BEN GREEN has been appointed Director of Rugby with immediate effect. The 31 year old Yorkshireman has been a 1st XV player and Club Captain before retiring from playing last season.
His former clubs include Moortown (Leeds), Leicester Tigers, Rochford Hundred and seven seasons at Southend.
“I am extremely pleased that Ben accepted our offer to become Director of Rugby, he is extremely capable and we expect a smooth transition from Kevin’s departure to the beginning of our training programmes that start from June 1st”.
The club will be looking for a Senior Coach to take charge of the backs division, working with KEVIN SCULLY, Manager, GARY COOKE Forwards Coach and KRIS CHESNEY (Saracens) Forwards Coaching Advisor.
