Bristol’s former England centre Amber Reed has been appointed as assistant coach at the Premiership Women’s Rugby side.

The 34-year-old retired at the end of this season after 16 years with the Bears after almost 200 matches including 47 England caps.

Reed will also manage the partnership between the club and the University of Bristol’s women’s side.

She will work alongside a yet-to-be appointed head coach after long-serving boss Dave Ward left last month.

“Amber is a legend of Bristol Bears Women and her knowledge and experience will be invaluable as she continues her coaching career, and the programme begins a new chapter,” Bristol director of rugby Pat Lam told the club website.

“She is hugely respected both by the players and staff and we’re excited to see her flourish as a coach in the same way she did as a player during an illustrious career at the top.”
