Dan Cole: Former Leicester Tigers prop joins Premiership club’s staff

Former Leicester Tigers and England prop Dan Cole has taken up a backroom role with the club following his retirement as a player.

The 38-year-old, whose final game for Tigers was their Premiership Final loss against Bath in June, becomes the new recruitment and retention manager.

It will see the four-time Premiership winner play on a key role in shaping Tigers squads of the future and will see him work closely alongside new head coach – and former Tigers team-mate – Geoff Parling.

Tigers chief executive Andrea Pinchen says she has “no doubt” that Cole will be a “great fit” with his new job, which will see him sit on a newly created recruitment and retention committee.

“He is a Leicester Tigers man through and through; he wants to see this club be successful and, pleasingly, wants to contribute and be a part of this exciting new chapter,” Pinchin told the club website., external
