Worcester appoint Gary Gold as DoR

As revealed by Neil Fissler in The Rugby Paper on Sunday, Worcester have appointed Gary Gold as their new director of rugby.
The 49-year-old, who held similar roles at Bath and with the Sharks in Super Rugby, will take on the role initially until the end of the season.
He said: “The opportunity to return to the Aviva Premiership to oversee such an exciting project is something which hugely appeals to me and I am looking forward to getting started.
“There are nine Premiership games remaining this season and the hard work has already begun as we look to rise to the challenge and ensure the rest of the season is a success.”
Warriors Chief Executive Jim O’Toole added: “Gary is highly regarded in the global game. He is someone who has always taken clubs forward and managed to get the best out of players and staff.
“We believe that working with Head Coach Carl Hogg and his coaching team he will take us in the right direction for the rest of this campaign to achieve the obvious goal of improving our league position.”
