Girvan Dempsey joins Bath Rugby as Attack Coach

Bath Rugby have today confirmed a significant boost to its coaching structure with the appointment of Girvan Dempsey from Leinster.  

Dempsey joins as Attack Coach and will head to the West Country ahead of the 2018/19 season.

On the appointment, Todd Blackadder said: “This season we’ve learnt a lot about ourselves. We need to be more flexible in our game so that we can better tailor our attack to different opposition.

“Girvan is a fantastic addition to our team and I believe together we can go on to great things, not only next season but for years to come.”

Dempsey, a former Irish international, has played a key role in Leo Cullen's coaching team at Leinster for the past three years as Attack Coach. During his tenure the 42-year-old has worked alongside the likes of Stuart Lancaster, Joe Schmidt and Michael Cheika.

He will join Todd Blackadder’s current coaching set up at Bath Rugby, which includes Stuart Hooper, Toby Booth and Darren Edwards.
