We are pleased to announce that Matt Sturgess will be rejoining Wimborne Rugby Club as our new Senior Lead Coach for the 2025/26 season.
Many of you will remember Matt from his time playing with us a few years ago, and he’s also had a big hand in coaching his son’s age group here, and at Bournemouth RFC, through to Colts.
We’re absolutely thrilled to have him back at Wimborne.
In recent years, Matt has been involved in coaching with Bath DPP and PDG, as well as Dorset & Wilts County as Head Coach for 15/16 age groups and he’s currently the Dorset & Wilts U20s Forwards Coach.
Before that, he was Forwards Coach and then Director of Rugby at Bournemouth RFC, where he played a key role in their journey at National League 2 level.
Matt’s got a wealth of experience and a true passion for the game. We’re looking forward to having him on board and are confident he’ll add a lot to the great work that’s been done at the club over the past few seasons.
He’ll be finalising plans and getting us get ready for pre-season after a well-earned break for everyone.
I am sure you will all give Matt a warm welcome back to the club and give him our usual Wimborne support throughout the season.
