“My understanding of 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 meant I knew the excellence and high standards that underpinned every role within 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 Sport and the University as a whole. Everyone who knows me knows how much I love 新澳门彩历史开奖记录, so I really feel like I’ve returned home – I can’t wait to get started.”

“We’re delighted to welcome back James to the rugby programme and look forward to seeing him help drive forward our diverse offer.
“James’ first-hand experience – including having represented 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 on the field across a number of levels – puts him in a unique position.
“He undoubtedly understands the programme inside out and we’re all looking forward to him making his mark once again.”
