Joe Gray appointed London Scottish Head Coach ahead of 2022/23 season

Following news of Harlequins’ strategic partnership with Championship side London Scottish, Joe Gray has been appointed the Championship side’s new Head Coach.

Working under newly appointed Director of Rugby Bryan Redpath, Gray will take up his new Head Coach role with Scottish as he retires from playing professional rugby this summer.

Commenting on his appointment, Gray said: “I’m delighted to share the news of my new coaching roles next season. I started coaching at 18 after a knee injury early in my career and have coached ever since. The last eight years I have coached at several clubs in the National League’s and have been the Director of Rugby at Barnes RFC for the last three seasons.

 “I’m tremendously excited to begin my new coaching career at the end of the season. I’ve spent eleven years with Harlequins as a player and grateful for the opportunity to remain with such a great club in my new role. I’m eager to help the next generation develop and hopefully reach their full potential in the same way coaches throughout my career did for me.”
