Brendan O'BrienGirvan Dempsey will join Bath Rugby this summer, bringing a 23-year association with Leinster to an end. A one-club man, he became player development manager on retirement before moving into a coaching role with the Leinster academy for the next three years. “Girv and I have been involved with Leinster and Ireland teams together since 1997 and I have shared many special memories together,” said Leinster head coach Leo Cullen. “Girv’s move to Bath is a great opportunity for him to continue his development as a world-class coach. “I will be looking to bring my experiences and knowledge to support Todd and the coaching team in delivering success to this great club.”
