We are delighted to announce the appointment of current Harlequins professional player, Ross Chisholm, as Performance Coach at Horsham with a focus to drive playing performance across the senior squads. Ross is an experienced Level 3 qualified coach with extensive experience.

Even though there was lots of interest for his services, he selected Horsham for the combination of ambition of vision, excitement of the playing project, new challenges and familiarity with the existing coaching team.

Despite being only age 30, he is now in his twelfth season as a professional player as a Full-Back/Wing at Harlequins having broken into the 1st XV in 2009. Ross is locally born and lives just outside Horsham. He started his rugby career as a Mini and Junior at Haywards Heath and more recently has just completed a term as the Joint Lead Coach of their 1st XV.

Ross explained: “I am hugely excited about the challenge of joining Horsham. I have always held a good relationship with Nick, Adam, Wes and the rest of the coaching team built over coaching experiences with Sussex and a friendly rivalry in the league. I was struck by the clarity of playing philosophy, the health of the wider club and a very talented squad all of which combine to make this project a real draw, one that I am very excited to undertake. I look forward to working with all the squad and coaches as we look to push Horsham forward both on and off the field.”
