Morgan joins new Neath management

Kevin Morgan celebrates his try in Wales' 2005 Grand Slam win over Ireland
Morgan celebrates his try in Wales' 2005 Grand Slam win over Ireland

Wales' 2005 Grand Slam winning full-back Kevin Morgan has joined Neath as a player/fitness coach in a new-look coaching set-up.

Morgan has left Newport Gwent Dragons, after an injury-ravaged last season and has effectively quit top-flight rugby.

Ex-Wales Under 20 coach Patrick Horgan will head the new coaching team.

It is completed by Morgan's fellow ex-Wales internationals Steve Williams, formerly of Ulster, and Leigh Davies, who began their careers at Neath.

Former back-five forward Williams joins after coaching stints at Ulster and Coventry while Davies was in charge of village side Bryncoch last season.

Former Dragons and Scarlets three-quarter Nathan Brew has also signed for the Swalec Cup winners.

Brew, who was capped once in 2003 by Wales, spent most of last season with Bristol after leaving Parc y Scarlets.

Neath will be aiming to challenge for Welsh Premiership and Swalec Cup honours and make an impression in the new cross-border British & Irish Cup.
