Aled Walters to leave Munster

Munster Rugby have confirmed that Head of Athletic Performance Aled Walters will depart the province in March.

Walters has been linked with a move to South Africa where he will link up with former Munster Director of Rugby at SARU.

The statement on Munster's website confirmed that Walters will be leaving the club saying that he "is leaving the province to take charge of a national team's strength and condition programme" but did not confirm that he was going to South Africa.

Walters has worked across the Munster Rugby strength and conditioning department since 2012, is leaving the province to take charge of a national team’s strength and conditioning programme. 

With the squad informed of the departure in December, Team Manager Niall O’Donovan said; “Aled has been an integral member of this backroom team for the past number of seasons, and oversees a great S&C department here within the High Performance Centre where our programmes and processes are well established.  We thank Aled for his contribution on and off the field, wishing him all the best with the next chapter.”
