Worcester Warriors are delighted to announce that former Scotland international Gordon Ross will become the Club’s Academy Transition Manager (Backs).
The 37-year-old will move to Sixways this summer after spending the 2014/15 season as Assistant Coach at London Welsh.
During a successful playing career, Ross won 25 caps for Scotland and appeared at the 2003 Rugby World Cup.
The fly-half scored a record 23 points on his international debut against Tonga and went on to make 10 appearances in the Five/Six Nations.
At club level, Ross represented Edinburgh, Leeds Tykes, Castres and Saracens before finishing his playing career at London Welsh.
Ross scored 696 points during 103 Premiership appearances and was also voted man-of-the-match as Leeds beat Bath Rugby to lift the Powergen Cup in 2005.
Ross said: “I am absolutely delighted to be offered the opportunity to join Worcester Warriors’ coaching staff.
“I am very impressed with the infrastructure and also the ambition of the Club. The Club have a fantastic playing squad and I am very much looking forward to working and supporting players with the goal of seeing them progress to the first-team.
“Dean Ryan and his coaching team have an excellent reputation of improving young coaches and I very much hope through hard work and determination the same will apply to me.”
Warriors Director of Rugby Dean Ryan said: “Gordon has illustrated a fantastic desire to become a successful coach and his season as Assistant Coach at London Welsh will stand him in good stead.
“Gordon enjoyed a fine playing career, during which he was an outstanding professional, so we are delighted he will join us as a coach this summer.”
