Sandbach Rugby Club are delighted to be able to announce that Will Cargill will re-join the club after 6 years with Championship stalwarts; Cornish Pirates. Amassing close to 600 points in 117 appearances for the Pirates, Will leaves the professional game to pursue his next stage of his life back in the North-West and Sandbach RUFC are delighted to welcome him as Senior Skills and Kicking Coach.

His role will also see him involved in coaching the next generation of players at Bradwall Road, namely our U16, 17 & 18’s age groups with the emphasis on transition and long-term player development. With a MSc in Sports Coaching, ‘Cargs’ will begin work with Sale Sharks in July alongside registering for The ‘Bach as a player and we are excited to see him back in the green and red jersey in coming months.

This has not simply been an overnight move, the club and Will have been in communication for close to 18 months and to dovetail his exit from the professional game with a coaching role at the club alongside full-time employment with our good friends Sale Sharks is testament to the hard work behind the scenes to make this possible.

A true Sandbachian, product of Sandbach School & the clubs Mini & Junior conveyor belt, Will is no stranger to Bradwall Road. Even during his time with the Pirates, he would always keep in touch with the whole club and many will remember how influential he was when Sandbach made the leap to the National Leagues a decade ago.

It is clear the club has strong aspirations moving into the forthcoming league season and we hope to see you on the touchline to be a part of it !!
