OPRFC appoint new Head Coach

Old Priorian have appointed Vinnie Berrington as the new Head Coach.

His appointment follows the departure of previous incumbent Adam Preocanin, who has moved to Australia.

Berrington, who played at Ealing Trailfinders Academy, joins the club following roles at the likes of Notre Dame in Illinois, USA, where he lead the Strength and Conditioning and assisted with on-field coaching, before a move back to England as Head Coach of Haringey Rhinos, helping them to stave off relegation during the 2019-2020 season.

He also worked as a Coach Intern at Ealing Academy and joined Rugby League team London Skolars for pre-season work in early 2021.

Vinnie joins the club with around a month and half before the 2021-22 season starts, kicking off on the 18th September with a home game against Letchworth Garden City.

We would like to wish Adam all the best with the move to pastures new and we are looking forward to an exciting chapter ahead with Vinnie.
