Statement issued by Brian McLaughlin, Head Coach<\/p>\n
“Further to yesterday’s press conference and the subsequent media reports I wish to clarify my situation and apologise for any misunderstanding that may have arisen.<\/p>\n
Last year I sought and was successful in securing a permanent contract with Ulster Rugby. This allowed me the job security to leave my teaching post and follow a professional coaching career. At the same time, I extended my role as Head Coach for the 2011-12 season.<\/p>\n
While I will be leaving the post of Head Coach in June this year I will not be leaving the staff and in fact will take on a senior coaching role within the Ulster Academy. This is an important role which I take very seriously and one to which I will bring extensive experience. It also indicates the investment we are making in our future players.<\/p>\n
I look forward to finishing this season strongly with the senior team and am committed to my new role developing the Ulster players of the future.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
