Ospreys chief Lance Bradley says decisive action was needed over head coach

Booth had guided Ospreys to the URC play-offs and the Challenge Cup quarter-finals in the 2023-24 season but was not offered a new deal with his current contract set to expire in the summer of 2025.

When asked whether Booth wanted a fresh contract, Bradley replied: “When we talked about it at the beginning of the season, we both agreed it was time to look at different opportunities and Toby was happy with that.”

Bradley says he had no regrets about the original decision in September to announce Booth was leaving at the end of the 2024-25 season.

“I still think it was the right thing to do at the time,” said Bradley.

“It is always difficult and you always want to be fair to people.

“He [Booth] had a very good season last year when Ospreys won our first European knockout game and we finished in the top eight of the league.

“It would have been difficult to explain to people why you wanted to change the coach at that point.

“We hoped it would work out with Toby seeing out the last year of his contract and Mark knowing he would take over and having a transition period.”
