Skills Coach & Lead Academy Coach
Matt Smith
Matt Smith, who made 228 appearances for Leicester Tigers over a decorated career, moved into coaching immediately after retiring in 2019 when he took on the role of Academy Head Coach.
Ahead of the 2020/21 campaign, Smith was promoted to the Senior Coaching Team.
As part of Dan McKellar's team, Smith will be the Skills Coach for the senior squad while also taking on the newly-created Lead Academy Coach role which sees him responsible for the Senior Academy Squad and transition of players from junior to senior rugby.
