Ballymena RFC are delighted to confirm the season:
• Director of Rugby – Alasdair Frazer
• Head Coach – John Nicholl
• Forwards Coach – Marcus Rea
• Backs Coach – Glenn Baillie
Alasdair Frazer steps into the role of Director of Rugby following several impactful seasons working with our Youth and 2XV teams, recently spearheading our U21s success. Alasdair is already playing a key role in shaping recruitment and long-term strategy at the club.
We’re also delighted to welcome Ulster’s Marcus Rea back to Eaton Park in a coaching capacity. Marcus will focus on developing our young and talented forward pack, bringing his invaluable experience and insight to the role.
John Nicholl and Glenn Baillie return from last season’s coaching setup, providing important continuity and stability as we look to the future.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to outgoing Director of Rugby, Peter Mackenzie, and Forwards Coach, Mike Stevenson, for all their hard work and commitment to the club in recent years. Your contributions have been truly appreciated, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Eaton Park as keen supporters next season.
Stay tuned over the coming weeks for the announcement of some exciting additions to our playing squad for 2025/26.
