Following yesterday’s news of Bon departing the Senior 1st Team, we’re delighted to welcome Damien Hudd as our 1st Team Forwards Coach for the 2026/27 season 🔥

Damien brings a huge amount of experience and success to the club both as a player and leader:

🏉 Wales U19s & U21s representative
🏉 Professional rugby with Ebbw Vale before regional rugby
🏉 2 Wales Rugby League caps
🏉 Captained Ebbw Vale RFC for 7 years
🏆 2 x Division One titles
🏆 2 x Championship titles
🏆 Promotion to the Premiership
🏆 Premiership winner with Ebbw Vale
🏆 Premiership Player of the Year
🏆 Division One & National Cup double as player/coach at Brynmawr

Speaking on joining Nelson RFC, Damien said:
“This will be the first year that I’m just coaching which is massive for me

I am honestly over the moon to start coaching a team with a pack that I can really get my hands on and hopefully do some really good things with. The thought of having great numbers and players who actually have the desire to work hard and to push their limits extremely excites me

Hopefully I will have the knowledge and drive to take the club, along with the existing coaching team, to push for honours this upcoming season”

Welcome to Nelson, Damien 🦄👏🏼
