Tom Gardner announced as Wimbledon RFC 2nd team coach.
Tom spent 4 years playing for the Dons before a string of concussions meant he had to hang up his boots in September 2024. Tom spent the second half of the 24/25 season coaching the 2nd XV at Wimbledon before taking a year out of the sport entirely.
Now, looking to develop his off the pitch skills, Tom has taken the opportunity to Coach the 2nd XV to help solidify the pathway for players into the 1st XV, and ensure we have strength and depth across the squads. Spending his adult rugby career across the front row, Tom’s coaching philosophy is about taking advantage of the set piece, to ensure a strong foundation to build attacks and counter attacks from.
Tom is excited to rejoin the Dons and make an impact on the 2nd XV
Welcome back Tom!
