Wasps name new Team Manager

Monday 16th June 2008

Guinness Premiership champions Wasps have announced Kevin Harman as their new Team Manager with immediate effect.

Harman, previously Director of Rugby at National Division Two side Southend RFC, takes over from previous role holder Nolan Miller, who is leaving the club after six years service.

The newly appointed Harman begins work at Wasps as preparations for the 2008/09 season begin to get underway.

"I'm extremely pleased to be joining London Wasps, and looking forward to working with one of the best clubs in Europe," Harman said.

"Wasps have proud success record and a strong winning culture. My challenge is to help ensure that winning culture continues to thrive, putting everything in place so that the coaches and players can focus purely on the rugby in front of them.

"It's going to be a big challenge but also an exciting one, and I am really looking forward to it."

Miller is to leave the club this week for pastures new and departs on happy terms after a memorable final season at Adams Park.

"Having spent six wonderful years at the club, I feel the time is right to move on and pursue a career elsewhere," Miller said.

"London Wasps is a fantastic place to work and I have no doubt the new Team Manager will thoroughly enjoy working in such a successful environment.

"I would like to thank to the London Wasps board, office-staff, players, supporters and my old media friends for some wonderful memories and wish the club all the best for the forthcoming seasons."
