Harrogate Rugby Club has announced that its director of rugby is to step down at the end of the season.

David 'Doc' Doherty will resign from the position after being at the club since 2016.

He helped to rebuild the first team squad and secure promotion back to National 2 North in 2019/20, as well as establishing an academy. However, the first team is currently at the foot of the table with just three wins from 24 fixtures this season.

Doherty also took on commercial chair duties and helped to bring a number of new sponsors to the club.

Speaking following the decision, Doherty said:

“I have always loved my six years leading Harrogate Rugby Club. I have consistently strived to leave the club in a better place than when I joined.
“We now have a long-lease on our land and have a sustainable business model, with the academy at the heart of what we do. This has already started to bear fruit with a huge number of players transitioning into 1stXV and senior rugby.
“Planning is well on the way for our ground redevelopment and the club can kick-on to future success, as we have created solid foundations.
“I would sincerely like to thank all the players, coaches and members who have supported me at the club during my time, and look forward to sharing a beer with them at the end of season dinner.”


The club are now reviewing options to replace Doherty, with an announcement on a new director expected by the end of the season.
