Attack coach Gleeson leaves Bath

Bath backs and attack coach Martin Gleeson has left the club after eight months in the role.

Gleeson, a former England and Great Britain rugby league centre and two-time Super League winner, joined Bath in October a week after he left a coaching role at Warrington Wolves.

"I'd like to thank Johann for the opportunity this season to come to Bath and work with some amazing staff and talented players," Gleeson said.

"It's been a great season and I wish the club all the success in the future."

Gleeson's departure means Bath are looking for a fourth attack coach since head of rugby Johann van Graan took over in July 2022.

Joe Maddock and Lee Blackett also held the role and Blackett now works in Steve Borthwick's England coaching team.

Bath finished second in the Prem table this season, scoring the third highest number of tries (75) and points (563), but were beaten by Exeter in the play-offs to miss out on a place in the final.
