Dwayne Peel to join Ulster as Assistant Coach ahead of the 2017/18

Dwayne Peel has been revealed as the latest addition to the Ulster backroom team for next season.

The former Wales and British and Irish Lions scrum-half has agreed a two-year deal to take up a role as an assistant coach with the province.

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with Bristol Rugby – both as a player and a coach – and it’s a Club that I have a close affinity to," said Peel.

“I’d like to thank Mark [Tainton] and the coaching team for the support that they have shown me. As a young coach, I’m looking forward to a new chapter in the PRO12 with Ulster.

“Until May, my focus is on Bristol Rugby and working with the players to ensure we retain our top flight status.”

Peel made twenty appearances as a player for Bristol, before joining the coaching staff at the beginning of the season.
