Crowborough RFC is thrilled to announce the appointment of Joel Forward as the new backs and kicking coach for our Senior squads. Joel joins the existing coaching team of Jody Levitt and Stuart Dawson, bringing a wealth of experience to the club.

A familiar face in Sussex rugby circles, Joel's career began on the pitch, where he spent eight seasons at Brighton Blues. He notably captained the 1st XV for five years as the club competed at Level 5.

Following his successful playing career, Joel moved into coaching, taking on Head Coach roles at both Uckfield and Sussex Rugby.

We are confident that his extensive background and expertise will be a huge asset to the team.

Joel Forward on joining Crowborough RFC:
"The environment at Crowborough is perfect for a coach to get stuck straight in. The management team is on it, and the players are keen to turn up and learn—you couldn't ask for more. I'm really excited to be working with this talented group of guys throughout the coming season."
