Alex Lawson returns to Ospreys as Head of Strength & Conditioning

Ospreys will welcome Alex Lawson back to the region this summer to take up the post of Head of Strength & Conditioning.

Lawson will replace Johnny Claxton ahead of 2017/18, the New Zealander leaving the Ospreys at the end of the season after three years with the region to join Grenoble in France.

The appointment sees Lawson linking back up with the region seven years after he left to head up the S&C team at the Dragons having been part of the coaching set-up at the Ospreys since the inception of regional rugby.

Speaking about his appointment, Lawson said:

“The Ospreys are very much my region, it’s where my family live, and I’m returning to my roots. I’ve got big shoes to fill in replacing Johnny Claxton but I’m excited to have the opportunity to re-join an organisation that is as ambitious and hungry for success as ever. It’s a region that has achieved such a lot and I was proud to share in the on-field successes in my last spell."
