Steve has an abundance of coaching experience over the past 25 years – which started as our Colts 1 coach in 1995. He then went on to coach at Stade Francais and Toulon in France, Kintetsu Liners in Japan, was Head Coach at Bath in England where they won the won the European Challenge Cup in 2008, and has coached at the Queensland Reds and Western Force in the Super Rugby competition. He is currently Director of Rugby and Brisbane Boys College and will continue in this role.

Steve will now work with the club to appoint a team of coaches, including the 1st Grade Head Coach role, to fill the vacancy left by the departure of Elwee Prinsloo, who has given the club 4 years of service as the Director of Rugby, Assistant Coach of the Premiership winning 1st Grade side in 2018, and Head Coach the last two years.

We thank Elwee for his service and we welcome Steve for the next era of success at GPS Rugby Club.
