Shanahan appoints former team mate to Albion coaching staff

The former Plymouth Albion prop Wayne Reed has rejoined his old club as a member of the coaching staff.

Head Coach James Shanahan has appointed his former team mate, who has been playing at Crediton, as a part-time scrum coach.

42-year-old Reed is currently the RFU Community Coach for North Devon.

James Shanahan told the club's website:

“We have been struggling a bit in the set scrum and Reedy has come in to share his expertise.

“Wayne is an Albion legend and knows all the dark arts of scrummaging. We aren’t expecting miracles but I know we will improve with his input.”

Wayne Reed said: “The current Albion squad are a great bunch of lads but what they need is a little bit of direction at scrum time.

“Scrummaging has always been a big part of my game and hopefully I will be able to pass on my knowledge.

“My task is quite simple and involves getting all eight forwards doing the same thing at the same time.”
