Pontypridd RFC's fitness coach Steve Richards has moved to crack Irish province Ulster. Richards has also been working as the conditioning chief for the successful Wales Sevens and Wales Under-21 sides.
The former Neath and Celtic Warriors fitness guru will join the backroom team of the Belfast side.
"Steve is a Rhondda legend, but he has been given the chance to go and he leaves with our good wishes," said Pontypridd coach Simon King.
