We are delighted to announce that Grant Thornton has committed to a three year sponsorship of the new position at GRFC

‘Grant Thornton has been a long time supporter of Guernsey RFC and is very excited to take a more formal position as sponsor of the new director of rugby. It is such a positive step for the club and we look forward to seeing the results having Jordan - who has already more than proved himself by taking the 1sts to the highest league position in the club’s history – in a full time post will bring across the whole club.’
Dave Clark, managing director, Grant Thornton

Jordan Reynolds has been the head coach of Guernsey RFC since 2007 and has overseen three league promotions and two Siam cup victories.

'Rugby in National 3 is a long distance from the days of the Hampshire leagues and over the years we have developed the club, team and support staff to provide the professional approach needed to compete at this level. Being appointed full time Director of Rugby through the help of Grant Thornton, has provided myself the opportunity to further develop not only the first team, but every team involved with Guernsey RFC.

My aims are to:
- Improve operational management of all GRFC Representative teams
- Oversee the coaching development of the GRFC Senior and Academy sides
- Create a player development pathway from Academy through to senior rugby
- Centralise logistics and budgets for all representative teams
- Establish appropriate policies and procedures
- Support the Guernsey Rugby Academy
- Establish and maintain player development and overall keep raising the standards of the senior teams in GRFC.

The support of Grant Thornton will allow me to dedicate the time to the Director of Rugby role and is something that I and the whole of Guernsey Rugby are very grateful for.'
Jordan Reynolds, director of rugby, Guernsey RFC
