Southern Kings head coach Matt Sexton will remain with the team until the end of 2014 and play an important role in mapping out the future of Eastern Province (EP) rugby.
It was announced on Tuesday that Sexton would be taking on more administrative duties following the departure of the Kings director of rugby Alan Solomons.
“I will be involved in the strategic direction of EP rugby and making sure things are in place for our entry back into Super Rugby because that is an absolute desire,” Sexton said.
“We have had a taste of what Super Rugby is about and desperately want to get back,” said Sexton, a former Crusaders hooker.
“It was never planned for me to coach the Currie Cup side. David Maidza and his team have been doing a fantastic job and there has already been a lot of change already. So it would have been more disruptive.
“So we have decided to continue with that and help with more expertise around the forward stuff. Forwards coach Barend Pieterse is running that stuff and I will be chipping in and helping where I can.” – BD Live
