Plymouth Argaum RFC are excited to announce the appointment of Brett Stroud as Head Coach for the forthcoming 2020-21 season. Stroud has a wealth of rugby experience with a playing CV which included spells at Plymouth Albion, Mounts Bay, Redruth and Devon, who he represented at Twickenham in the 2006 County Championship Final. The back row man finished his playing career at Newton Abbot where he played eighty-four 1st XV games before a recurring injury forced his retirement.

He is no stranger to Bickleigh Down having been at the club as an assistant coach in the 2014-15 season, which saw the 'Chiefs' promoted as Devon One Champions. Chairman Nick Hancock said "I'm delighted that Brett is able to take up the head coach role. l believe that his high-level experience and enthusiastic approach, will attract players to the club and enable Argaum to build for the future". Stroud met club officials and re-acquainted himself with the facilities as preparations were underway for a clubhouse re-opening on Saturday 18th July.

Hancock paid tribute to outgoing coach Adrian Cameron, another former Albion player. "I'd like to thank Adrian for his considerable effort over the last two seasons and wish him good luck as he continues his engagement with National One side Taunton Titans".
