Osbourne says goodbye to Harlequins
NEWS: Harlequins skills coach Colin Osbourne has left the club after over 20 years at the club.
The club stated on their website: “Collin originally joined Harlequins coaching staff in 1996 at the start of the professional era and played a key role in helping introduce the standards of training and commitment required for the team to compete effectively in the changed rugby environment.
“His experience was to prove invaluable when the RFU introduced academies in 2002 and Harlequins was successful in being granted an RFU Academy licence.
“Collin was instrumental in attracting a group of talented young players to the Academy that have gone on to contribute greatly to Harlequins and achieve international status with England.
“Eight seasons ago he was appointed Skills Coach to the first team squad and worked with the players in an era that was the most successful in the Club’s professional history.
“Everyone connected with Harlequins would like to thank Collin for his contribution and commitment over the years and wishes him well for the future.”
