Chester Gladiators have confirmed their coaching set-up for the 2010 season.

After a successful 2009 campaign that saw our first team reach the semi-finals of the RL Merit League, everybody connected with the club is extremely excited about what the future holds for Rugby League in Chester.

The first team, who have stepped up to the Co-Operative Rugby League Conference, will be coached by Australian Scotty Hughes and Irish representative Declan Foy. Hughes made a big impression last season and will work alongside Foy who also coaches Chester University and previously spent time as a player with Oldham Roughyeds.

Paul Foster has been named as the new coach of the A team, who will compete in the RL Merit League, while Allen Jones will continue to coach the U12s but will be assisted by Adam Turner. The committee are continuing to prepare for the new season and are looking forward to another successful campaign.

Opportunities still exist for new coaches to join our club and further details can be found on our Get Involved page.
