&lt;div dir="auto"&gt;We are pleased to announce that &lt;strong&gt;Matt Sturgess&lt;/strong&gt; will be rejoining Wimborne Rugby Club as our new &lt;strong&gt;Senior Lead Coach&lt;/strong&gt; for the 2025/26 season.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="auto"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"&gt;
&lt;div dir="auto"&gt;Many of you will remember Matt from his time playing with us a few years ago, and he’s also had a big hand in coaching his son’s age group here, and at Bournemouth RFC, through to Colts.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="auto"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"&gt;
&lt;div dir="auto"&gt;We’re absolutely thrilled to have him back at Wimborne.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="auto"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In recent years, Matt has been involved in coaching with Bath DPP and PDG, as well as Dorset &amp;amp; Wilts County as Head Coach for 15/16 age groups and he’s currently the Dorset &amp;amp; Wilts U20s Forwards Coach.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"&gt;
&lt;div dir="auto"&gt;Before that, he was Forwards Coach and then Director of Rugby at Bournemouth RFC, where he played a key role in their journey at National League 2 level.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="auto"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"&gt;
&lt;div dir="auto"&gt;Matt’s got a wealth of experience and a true passion for the game. We’re looking forward to having him on board and are confident he’ll add a lot to the great work that’s been done at the club over the past few seasons.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="auto"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"&gt;
&lt;div dir="auto"&gt;He’ll be finalising plans and getting us get ready for pre-season after a well-earned break for everyone.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="auto"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"&gt;
&lt;div dir="auto"&gt;I am sure you will all give Matt a warm welcome back to the club and give him our usual Wimborne support throughout the season.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
