My name is Matt Parker I am the new Community Rugby Coach (CRC) at Banbury RUFC. I have been coaching for seven years now with multiple roles. I have been head coach of a Mini & Juniors team, backs coach for North Midlands Women’s, Part-time community coach for Worcester Warriors and a community coach for Gloucester Rugby. I am very excited to be part of this club bringing my experience to the table and growing the game of rugby at Banbury.

On his appointment Director of Rugby Matt Goode said -

“I am delighted to see the hard work and dedication of our community programs has been recognised. I am incredibly proud of the work the BRUFC Community Department has achieved over the last 2 years. This is a wonderful chance to grow our reach and further develop areas in the community, including Women and Girls rugby.

We are delighted to have Matt Parker on board to steer the excellent community set-up we have cultivated here at Banbury RUFC. He brings a wealth of experience at various age groups within the game. We look forward to what he will bring and achieve in the role ahead.

I want to take this chance to thank the RFU who we are in partnership with on this project and all of our community sponsors, Form8tion, Blu 3, Nexus Utilities, IbrandIQ, Oxford Environmental, Bidwells & HLM Investment group, for making this possible.”
