Ospreys appoint Brad Davis as Defence Coach

Ospreys Rugby have announced the appointment of Brad Davis as Defence Coach.

The vastly experienced Australian will link up with the region at Llandarcy Academy of Sport when the squad reports back for pre-season training next month.

Speaking about his move to the Ospreys, Davis said:

“This is a fascinating challenge for me, one that I can’t wait to get started on.

“Speaking at length to Steve Tandy, I couldn’t help but get excited about the direction in which the Ospreys are heading and where they want to go. His passion is infectious and the vision is clear.

“There’s a core of world class players at the Ospreys and some incredible young talent starting to make a mark, and I couldn’t resist the challenge of working with them and helping them develop.

“The first challenge will be to look at the needs of the players ready for pre-season, to work collectively with the coaches and players to identify what we want to be and what our key principles will be. Once we’ve done that, we can then put in some firm foundations that should allow us to really achieve what we want as a team, in all facets of our game.”
