Brown joins Highlanders coaching team

Just a few days after announcing their playing squad for 2018 the Highlanders have now completed their coaching team with the appointment of Cory Brown to the High-Performance coaching role.

Brown joins Aaron Mauger, Glenn Delaney, Mark Hammett and Clarke Dermody in an all South Island coaching group that will guide the team in 2018.

Brown has been the head coach of the Otago Mitre 10 cup team over the last three seasons, leading them to two championship  semi-finals and one grand final in that period. He was also part of the coaching team that guided the NZ team to a win at this year’s U20 World Cup in Georgia.

Browns departure will create a vacancy at Otago Rugby which they hope to fill as soon as possible. Richard Kinley Otago Rugby General Manager said “we congratulate Cory on his appointment and advancement in his career; we wish him all the best and will commence the recruitment process immediately.”
