Lichfield Rugby are happy to announce the appointment of Jim Thorp as their new DoR.
After a successful playing career at clubs such as Sale Sharks, Pertemps Bees and Rotherham, Jim moved into coaching at Bees and then Warwickshire & England Counties, before joining Lichfield - where for the last 10 years or more, he has been coaching successful teams across the Mini, Junior and Colts sections.

Jim is an experienced coach with a proven track record of developing both novice and more experienced players - to enable them to progress to higher levels.

He is passionate about player engagement, core skills, team culture and playing rugby for the right reasons. Jim is therefore an ideal candidate to continue to move the club forwards in our ambition to be the best amateur rugby club that we can possibly be, and it’s even better that we can ‘promote from within’.

Please welcome and support Jim in his new role.
