Bees Head of Rugby Lou Lupoli has given a strong indication of the club's intentions for the 2020-21 season by appointing a specialist Strength & Conditioning coach in the shape of Chris Price.

Some of you may remember Chris as he played for Bees Development Squad at Scrum Half on a number of occasions around 5 years ago.

An Army Veteran, he runs his own personal training company and is a qualified referee as well.

Chris has already set up individual programs over the Squad WhatsApp group with the players, but is looking forward to meeting up at Portway to commence testing proper, which hopefully can commence in small numbers with the correct guidelines being followed quite soon.

Chris will be a welcome addition to our Performance team, working closely with the Doc and Rona keeping the lads injury free and getting them as fit as possible for the new season.
