Former Scotland women’s head coach Bryan Easson has been named the new consultant director of rugby at Dundee Rugby.
The move signals the Arnold Clark National Two club’s ongoing commitment to high performance rugby with his coaching pedigree set to fresh insight, work ethic and tactical skills to Dundee.
Easson will focus on the senior men’s and women’s teams – the latter known as the Valkyries – at the club bringing with him a wealth of expertise following his international work at the elite level of the game.
He will continue his current role as head coach and head of performance coaching with Rugby Nederland whilst taking the lead at Dundee Rugby.
Dundee vice-president Bill Anderson said: “We’re thrilled to have Bryan on board.
“It’s a huge boost to the club to have his level of expertise and in-depth knowledge of all aspects of the game and we’re excited for next season.”
Easson added: “I’m really excited to be joining Dundee Rugby as a consultant director of rugby. It’s a club with strong foundations and real potential and I’m looking forward to supporting the players, coaches and wider club as it continues to grow.
“This role fits well alongside my ongoing work with the Netherlands where I remain fully committed as head coach and head of performance coaching.
“The opportunity to contribute in both environments is something I value greatly as it allows for shared learning, fresh perspectives and the continued development of high performance standards.
“My focus at Dundee will be to add clarity, alignment and direction to the rugby programme while supporting the people within it to be the best they can be. I’m looking forward to getting started and building something positive together.”
Easson was head coach of Scotland women for five years between 2020 and last year.
