The Club are delighted to announce the appointment of a new Senior Coaching partnership of Danny Pilkington and Alex Dolly.

Danny will take on the role of Senior Coach.

He's previously coached at Dinnington, as well as Cleckheaton, Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam universities, Rotherham Academy and Rotherham Titans.

Danny's also played at Dinnington, Cleckheaton, Rotherham Titans, Mill Hill, ATR Pirbright, Infantry, Army, Coldstream Guards and has most recently been playing for Arabian Gulf Legends.

Danny says, "Im massively proud to be back at Dinnington coaching. When I got the call there was no hesitation to get back to where rugby started for me. We have a lot of young players and a new coaching eam but the future looks really bright. The idea is to play some good rugby, win some games and most of all have a good crack and enjoy ourselves."

Alex Dolly will lead on attack and backs coaching.

He's currently playing for Doncaster Knights and has also represented Nottingham, Rotherham Titans and Flyde.

He's previosuly coached at Nottingham Academy and Nottingham Corsairs.

Alex says, "I am massively grateful for the opportunity to look after the backs and attack this year at Dinnington Rugby Club. As a new coaching team combined with the playing group we have, I hope that we are able to play a good brand of rugby that produces the results that we want as a club. I am really looking forward to getting stuck into the season in a few weeks time and watching the boys grow."
