University of St Andrews RFC are delighted to announce the appointment of Ryan Milne to the coaching staff at the club.

Ryan will be working at all levels of the club but predominately with the forwards from January 2012.

Ryan still plays his club rugby at Dundee HSFP's in Premier 1 and captained Scottish Students Squad last season. He comes with experience of playing at the top level in Scotland and with a real passion to assist the club in developing their forward play and progressing the hard work the club has put in so far this season.

Director of Rugby David Ross said of the appointment 'It is great news that Ryan has agreed to come and work with the boys. There has been many great strides forward in the rugby program this year and Ryan will add to that immensely. His experience at playing in Prem1 with Dundee will add hugely to our forward pack and will help develop a harder edge to go along with our traditional style of play of playing with ball in hand. The feedback from the players on his first session was extremely positive and we all cannot wait till training starts back up again in the new year so that the hard work can continue.'
