Clive Griffiths – Head Coach
Clive Griffiths joined the club as Head Coach and assistant to Director of Rugby Mike Ruddock during the summer of 2007.
Griffiths last worked alongside Ruddock when they guided Wales to their first Grand Slam in 27 years in 2005. That partnership has now been reunited with his move to Sixways on an initial two-year deal with an option for an extension.
Griffiths has enjoyed a glittering coaching career after playing spells with Llanelli, where he was capped once by Wales, before switching codes to rugby league in 1979 by joining St Helens and then Salford.
He spent 10 years with the Welsh rugby league team, twice guiding them to the semi-final stage of the World Cup and winning the European Championship for the first time in 57 years. He also enjoyed a spell as Great Britain rugby league coach in 1996.
His first coaching role in union was with London Welsh for three seasons before roles as defence coach with Swansea and Newport Gwent Dragons. He joined the Wales set-up under Graham Henry and had five full seasons with the national side. His latest position was as Director of Rugby at Doncaster.
