Tom Coventry leaves London Irish

Tom Coventry has resigned his position with London Irish by mutual agreement to return home to New Zealand for family reasons.

Commenting on the announcement, London Irish Chief Executive Bob Casey said, “Having undertaken a review of the past season and taken time to consider its implications, and given his family situation, our discussions with Tom have resulted in agreement that it is in his best interests to return to New Zealand.

Coventry joined the club in July last year after a successful career coaching in Super Rugby with the Chiefs and internationally with Samoa. Unfortunately London Irish were relegated from the Premiership this year in what was a difficult year for everyone involved with the Club.
