Harrogate Rugby Union Football Club have appointed former player Sam Fox as their new head coach.

The club, which is currently in its 150th year, plays at Rudding Lane after moving from their old home on Claro Road in 2014.

In September they will begin a new campaign in the semi-professional league National 2 after being promoted last season.

Fox previously spent two years as head coach of the club's academy.

He said:

"I am incredibly excited to be coming onboard as head coach for the 2021-22 season. It’s a hugely exciting team with lots of talented young players coming through the academy as well as a strong core of senior players to drive us forward.
"After the past 12 months I know everyone is itching to be back and have a ball in hand. We understand the challenge of going in to National 2 this season and are working incredibly hard behind the scenes to ensure we bring everyone back in, in a safe way.
"I’m very excited to get started and back out on field and look forward to seeing everyone back down at Rudding Lane soon".
