Tewkesbury previously coached Bohemians in Ireland

Bridgwater and Albion director of coaching Mike Tewkesbury has agreed a new three-year deal.

Tewkesbury says he is delighted to be staying at Bath Road, having moved to the Somerset club in 2007.

"What we are trying to achieve at Bridgwater is an ongoing project," he said.

"Bridgwater is a bastion of rugby and a club with huge potential, so I am only too pleased to be given the chance to play my part," Tewkesbury added.
