Our Coaches

At Tamworth Rugby Union Sporting Club, our Coaching Team is built on more than just experience, it’s built on legacy !

Since taking the field as the Magpies, our club has grown into a proud and competitive force fielding multiple men’s grades and a women’s side, and creating a place where players, families and supporters belong. 

That tradition continues in 2026.

Our coaching group brings together a wealth of knowledge, passion and leadership, united by a commitment to developing players, strengthening club culture and driving success on the field. They honour the generations before them while setting the standard for those who will follow.

With a focus on discipline, connection and continuous improvement, our coaches are building an environment where every player can thrive—and where the Magpie spirit continues to grow stronger.
