We are excited to announce and welcome Exeter Chiefs Ladies’ Brooke Bradley to the coaching team for the Withy Ladies during the 2023/24 season.
Brooke will be joining Scott Todd, Bridget Culver and Jerry Smith in the coaching setup of the ladies as they begin preparations for the upcoming 2023/24 season.
On the announcement of the news, Ladies Team Manager, Carol Glover said “We are really excited and pleased to welcome Brooke who joins our great team of coaches for Withy ladies. This will add another layer of progression to our play and more ability to coach with differentiation across our diverse team of experienced and brand new players. Everyone is welcome to join us, whatever level you are at.”
The exciting Chiefs’ Scrum Half is no stranger to the area, having grown up in Exmouth, playing her rugby down the road at the Imperial Recreation Ground, going on to represent Devon at both Under 15 and Under 18 level before moving away. She then, in 2017 Brooke made her international debut for England Under 20s.
With all this talent and experience at a young age, Brooke will have plenty to offer the Withy Ladies on their training sessions.
Speaking about her new role at the Withies, Brooke is looking forward to getting underway, saying “I'm really excited to get involved with Withycombe women's rugby team. Having met some of the team playing touch at the club over the last couple of years, I can see there's lots of potential and I'm excited to see what we can achieve together.”
We look forward to welcoming Brooke to Raleigh Park and wish her the best of luck for her duration with us.
You can also get yourself involved in one of the country’s fastest-growing sports and join us for a training session when we return on the 12th July. Just come along on a Wednesday evening from 6:45; or, if you can’t wait until then, you can get in touch with Carol Glover on 07580 006177.
Whatever your ability, whether you’re new to the sport or just fancy a change of club, everyone is welcome at Raleigh Park and the Withy Ladies!
