Orkney RFC welcomes first ‘home-grown’ Development Officer

15/11/2023

 
Orkney Rugby Club welcomes Sean Corrigall as our fourth RDO and the first home-grown one having started his rugby in West minis & served as the club’s Community Rugby Coach for the past year.

He takes over the role from John Cairns, who held the post from November 2016.

Picture
Sean is a talented sportsman having rowed to Under 23 British Champion level and is Scottish Indoor record holder at 2000m and 500m, and coached junior members of Molesey Boat club in London.

Having retired from elite rowing due to injury, Sean returned to rugby and played for a season with Bay of Plenty in New Zealand and then with US Avignon Le Pontet
, a club based in the South of France close to Toulon, who start their players at three years of age!

Sean also had a spell at Boroughmuir RFC, coached U12s in N.Z. and U18s in France.
