As part of the on going rugby review and the announcement made by the club recently, with regard to the coaching team, Hawick RFC would like to issue the following update.

Following the decision communicated to the club last week by Matty Douglas, to tender his resignation with immediate effect from the position of Head Coach, Lewis Bertram has now confirmed that it is also his intention to step down from his role as Forwards Coach, also with immediate effect, a decision conveyed to Director of Rugby Gary Muir.

Hawick RFC would therefore like to announce that Graham Hogg has agreed to step in as interim Head Coach for the remainder of this season, as the club strives to secure victory in the Premiership play-off final and retain the Scottish Cup. The club are also delighted to confirm that Graham will be assisted in working with our squad over the coming weeks, by Scott MacLeod & Roddy Deans, both of whom will bring their considerable knowledge and expertise to the table.

The club is extremely grateful to Graham, Scott & Roddy for stepping up to the challenges presented by the remaining games as the club and players strive for further silverware.
