Buckinghamshire RFU

Bucks RFU are delighted to announce the appointment of Alan Lane as the new Director of Rugby for the County, effective from 1st January 2021.

Alan re-joins the County after many years of volunteering going back some 14 years. He has coached at all the age grades (twice!) as well as having been the County men’s XV’s Coach for 5 seasons, whilst working for the RFU as a CRC.

County Chairman, Neale Baker says he is really excited about this dynamic appointment: “I’m really looking forward how Alan will bring new ideas and energy to the role”. Neale added: “Alan has worked tirelessly on behalf of Bucks RFU over many years, and indeed is the recipient of a County Honours tie for his outstanding efforts on our behalf. It has been an incredibly difficult 12 months in our game, but it’s fantastic to know that as we look forward to 2021, Alan will be onboard to take us forward into what we hope is a new era of opportunities.”

County Secretary, Simon Winman stated that Alan brings so much local knowledge and experience to our group: “We know he is looking forward to working with junior boys Chair, Mike Logan and Junior girls Chair Lynne Edhouse, in taking the development of our players to the next level as we strive to be as open, and inclusive as possible.”

All at Bucks RFU wish Alan well in his new role.

Happy New Year to all
