Graham Rodger has worked with Rudy for a number of years and was highly recommended. We have crossed swords at different clubs, but having seen his session the other night I know that Graham will prove a great addition to the coaching team.”
Sarah Hearn, meanwhile, is the new first team physiotherapist and brings a lot of experience.
It was promising start for a new look team – without a single player from last season – as a side full of triallists won the Blues’ first pre-season friendly 3-1 against Dronfield.
