Gloucester confirm coaching structure for 2022-23 season

Following the conclusion of the 2021-22 campaign, Gloucester Rugby have confirmed their coaching structure for the 2022-23 season.

Head Coach George Skivington continues to spearhead the coaching team after signing a new long-term deal earlier this year.

We are also pleased to confirm that Defence Coach Dom Waldouck has agreed on a new contract to remain at Kingsholm. Gloucester Rugby’s defence has gone from strength to strength this season, most notably recording a clean sheet in the 64-0 victory over West Country rivals Bath.

Skivington and Waldouck will continue work alongside Tim Taylor and Trevor Woodman to complete the coaching group for the 2022-23 season. Taylor will assume more responsibility for the attack in his position as Assistant Backs & Academy Transition Coach, and Woodman will also resume his role as Assistant Forwards & Academy Transition Coach.
