Exciting times for Welsh rugby! The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) is on the hunt for coaching talent, targeting Cardiff Met’s own Danny Milton for a game-changing role. Milton, a respected figure in the field, is known for his impressive work in developing rugby stars at Cardiff Met, with alumni like Wales’ Aaron Wainwright and England’s Alex Dombrandt to his name.
The WRU plans to bring Milton on board to nurture the next wave of high-calibre coaches for both men’s and women’s rugby teams in Wales. This role is especially crucial as the WRU aims to boost its coaching programme following the departure of former coach manager John Neal. Rhys Long, WRU’s technical director, is placing a heavy emphasis on developing top-notch coaching talent in the years to come.
Milton, currently a senior lecturer in Physical Education & Sport Coaching, previously led Cardiff Met’s rugby programme and served as an attack coach for the Wales U18s. His potential appointment is seen as a move to ensure Wales remains a powerhouse in the world of rugby by creating a rich pipeline of coaching excellence.
Stay tuned for more updates and let’s get ready to cheer on the future of Welsh rugby! 🏉 #WelshRugby #DannyMilton #WRU
