Jack Heald shares the exciting set coaching set up for the Men's 1st XV squad for next season

Whilst we have performed well in the last 4 seasons it is time to kick on and win the league - this coaching team has been assembled to deliver that goal
- Jack Heald - Director of Ruby

We’re delighted to confirm our Men’s 1st XV coaching setup for the upcoming season…

Leading the programme as Director of Rugby, Jack Heald continues to drive standards, culture, and ambition across the group.

In the pack, Simon Linsell takes charge as Forwards Coach, bringing experience and edge to the engine room.

And in an exciting return, former club captain Josh Davies rejoins Barnes as Attack Coach — adding real quality and a deep understanding of the club’s DNA.

As part of this transition, we say thank you to James Love, who departs for a new challenge closer to home. We wish him all the very best for the future.

We’re also pleased to have Mark Matzopoulos working alongside the group in a consultancy role, adding further expertise to the coaching environment.

More additons to follow on this exciting time for Barnes.

An exciting season lies ahead. ?
