Claire Cruikshank will reprise her role as the Edinburgh Rugby Women’s team Head Coach on a full time basis for the upcoming Celtic Challenge.
Cruikshank steered Edinburgh to an impressive second placed finish in the team’s inaugural season, and now take on the role in a full-time basis as part of the Scottish Rugby Female Performance Pipeline.
On the appointment, Cruikshank added: “It’s a really exciting role, and I can’t wait to get started. Last season’s Celtic Challenge was amazing to be a part of, and to build on that is an opportunity I’m looking forward to immensely.
“It’s great to see so many of our players from last season doing well, with many earning international honours after playing for Edinburgh. It shows the clear pathway that is available for the girls, and one I’m excited to continue working on.”
Managing Director Douglas Struth added: “It’s brilliant to have Claire back at the club for our second season of the Celtic Challenge.
“Last year’s campaign was a great success, with good rugby and big crowds coming out to support the ‘History-Makers’. I’m excited for season two and hope we can see similar backing from the ‘Burgh faithful!”
