Kelly Brown joins Canada's Coaching staff

Former Scottish international Kelly Brown will join Canada’s senior men’s coaching staff as a defence coach for their upcoming four test matches in June and July.

Brown, 34, won 64 test caps for Scotland, scoring four tries, and played in the 2007 and 2011 Rugby World Cups in France and New Zealand respectively.

“I'm delighted to be joining Canada for their important June internationals,” Brown said. “I know many of the players, from playing against them in the UK, and am excited to see what this playing group can achieve." 

Brown also played professionally for the Glasgow Warriors and Saracens. He won the Premiership rugby title three times during his career (2010, 2015, 2016).

“Rugby Canada are very pleased to welcome Kelly Brown to the Men’s fifteens coaching team for the June internationals,” Rugby Canada’s General Manager of Performance and Rugby Operations Jim Dixon said. “It is an important month with tests against Georgia, Romania and the two Rugby World Cup qualifiers against the USA. Kelly brings a wealth of international experience from his playing days with Scotland and he's been an integral part of the winning culture at Saracens.”
