Super6 role for Adam Ashe

Adam Ashe will coach at Bridgehaugh next season
Adam Ashe, who announced his retirement from playing last week, will join the Stirling Wolves coaching team for the upcoming FOSROC Super6 Championship.

The former Glasgow forward spent the last two seasons playing US Major League Rugby outfit LA Giltinis but missed most of the latest campaign due to a neck problem. He's now returning to Scotland to take on a role at the club where he spent his formative years.

Ashe replaces another former Warriors, Scott Lawson, as Stirling Wolves Defence and Contact Coach, after Lawson's appointment as Specialist Skills Coach in throwing with Scottish Rugby Union.

Ashe told the club website: "I'm really excited to be joining the coaching team at Stirling Wolves. I came through the club as a junior rugby player and have so many great memories playing in the jersey. I always had a dream of coming back and coaching after I finished playing. I think the Super6 team has taken big strides forward over the last couple of years and this team is now at a point where it has the ability to win this season's FOSROC Super6 competition."

Stirling Wolves Head Coach, Ben Cairns, said: "Having lost Scott Lawson to his new role within Scottish Rugby, we are delighted to have been able to replace him so quickly with another quality individual. Ashey is a County man having come up through the club. Whenever he's been in our environment, he has spoken extremely well and led by example. We know he will bring these attributes into his coaching.

Having spoken to Ashey about the opportunity, I was really impressed with the amount of thought and work he had already put into his coaching. Overall it's a great fit for everyone associated with Stirling Wolves - Ashey gets to start the next chapter of his rugby journey back at his home club and we gain another quality young coach involved in our programme. We will look to support Ashey fully as he transitions into this role and look forward to playing a small part in what we expect to be a long and successful coaching career for Ashey."
