Ulster Rugby have announced that forwards coach Roddy Grant has left his position “by mutual agreement”.
Grant spent five years in the role with the Irish province.
Ulster head coach Richie Murphy said: “Roddy has given a lot to the club over the last five years and we would like to thank him for all his hard work that is set to stand by us as a squad in the seasons ahead.
“From a personal perspective, I really enjoyed working together at the end of last season. Roddy is a coach that gives it his all, and I know how much maintaining the highest standards means to him.”
Grant commented: “I’m extremely proud of our work as forwards over the past five years”.
“I feel that I leave with the pack in a better place than when I arrived, with the guys having built a very strong reputation as a forward pack.
“I gave it my all, and I went all in. Thankyou to all the players who gave everything and went all in for me too,” added the Botswana-born former professional player.
