To ensure they are prepared as best as they can be the for the season ahead Thurrock have built a new top-quality coaching team to work with the squad.

Senior Coach: Martin Jones
Martin joins Thurrock having recently left his role of Director of Rugby at Southend Saxons. He and our Co-Director of Rugby, Steve Putz, have coached together at both Saracens and Barking. Martin’s background includes playing a leading role in taking London Welsh through to a Top 6 finish in 2008/2009 in National 1 (now the Championship). Spells with Barking when in National 1, helping Westcliff secure a position in National 3, in addition to coaching at Southend and St Barts & the London RFC for a number of years, means Martin comes with a tremendous background in national and local rugby.
Martin’s coaching has provided him with the opportunity to coach in Sri Lanka, Italy and Georgia. Martin’s role will include developing our own coaches in addition to the players in the senior squads.

Martin will be assisted by :-
Skills Coach -Sally Tuson
Forwards & Specialist Coach: Jim Evans
