Semi-professional Plymouth Albion hooker and Team Leader of Physical Education at Newton Abbot College, Jamie Salter, has completed his first season as Devon U15 Rugby Coach with the hope of attracting top level players to the College.
As the youngest Devon coach from a professional club, Salter is looking to bring current tactical approaches and systems to the game to provide the team with the best chances of victory. The current season saw the county team play in three games against Somerset, Bristol and Cornwall, winning two and losing one.
It is talented players like Josh that Jamie is looking to promote: “This is a great opportunity to develop up and coming players like Josh. I have a long-term goal of developing the standard of rugby at Newton Abbot College with an aim of supplying more and more student players to the county squad. The hope is that this will, in turn, attract more rugby players to the College. It has been a fantastic opportunity as a coach to give back to the game and promote it throughout our College community and beyond.”
