Steve Diamond to finish current Edinburgh Rugby role

24 Aug 2023

Following the recent appointment of Sean Everitt, Steve Diamond will finish his current role as the club’s Lead Rugby Consultant at the end of this month (August). This is following the successful completion of that assignment, and a period of handover. Everitt will take charge of the team’s remaining pre-season preparations and will lead the Edinburgh Rugby coaching group into the new season.

Edinburgh Rugby Managing Director Douglas Struth has thanked Diamond for his contributions during his six-month period at the club, and said:

“We’ve enjoyed having Steve here at Edinburgh Rugby and he’s done a first-class job in overseeing our pre-season programme this off-season.

“Steve has worked closely with Sean since his appointment to ensure a smooth handover process, which has allowed Sean to really hit the ground running with our squad, who are now in block three of pre-season preparations.

“I’d like to put on record our thanks and appreciation for Steve’s hard work, insight, leadership, and expertise since taking on the role back in March.”
