Hinckley Rugby Club are pleased to announce that George Chuter will succeed Paul Walsh as Director of Rugby from the end of this season. Walsh is moving to live in France but has been part of the team that has been reviewing suitable candidates for the past few months. Walsh stated “I’ve known George for a few years now and he came across as the ideal person to succeed me after I move to France. I’m very happy that the club which has been a massive part of my life for the last 10 years has found someone of his calibre. I’ll hopefully be leaving the club in a really good position and George will take things to the next level”
Chuter, who played for Saracens, Leicester Tigers and England, will bring huge experience to the coaching team and is looking forward to joining a club that is moving in the right direction. He stated “I’m really excited to join what is now my local club as I have been living in Hinckley for the past 11 years. It will be a fantastic challenge and will be great to be involved in a club that has made some fantastic strides forward both on and off the field. The club has an aim and I feel as though it fits with what I want to achieve myself”.
Chairman John Tilley was elated that the club has found a new guiding light to continue the journey the club has been on in the last few years. “Paul Walsh has been a fantastic servant and replacing him could have proved impossible however we feel we have a got a person with the personality, experience and talent to grasp the baton and make his own mark in the history of Hinckley Rugby Club”.
