Rohan Awati has been appointed as Head Coach – Youth Development, a new role created to focus on identifying and nurturing young local talent within the men’s program and delivering success within the Green Shield and Poidevin-Gray competitions.
Rod Chapman SCG Chair, welcomed the appointments. “These two leadership roles are critical to executing our long-term strategy of building a strong pipeline of local and successful talented Tigers,” he said.
