Chisholm named Quins head coach in backroom shuffle

Harlequins Women have announced former men's player Ross Chisholm as their new head coach.

The 33-year-old is stepping up from his previous role as attack and transition coach while former boss Amy Turner will become a pathway coach for the men's team.

Former full-back Chisholm made 128 appearances for Harlequins across a 14-year playing career before moving into full-time coaching.

"It's a very special feeling to be named head coach of Harlequins Women," Chisholm told Harlequins' website, external.

"I have loved my time working with the players and coaches, and I'm excited to take on this very important role."
