Wimbledon RFC are delighted to confirm that Tom Lawday will continue as our Forwards Coach for the upcoming season.
Tom brings outstanding rugby pedigree, elite-level experience, and a huge amount of energy to our coaching group.
A former professional back-row forward, Tom played at the highest level of the English game with Harlequins and Exeter Chiefs with additional Championship experience at Cornish Pirates. His playing career included top-level Premiership rugby, culminating in being part of Harlequins’ memorable Premiership-winning squad. Before his professional rise, Tom was recognised as one of the country’s standout university players, winning BUCS Player of the Season while at Exeter.
Tom’s experience in high-performance environments, combined with his technical knowledge of forward play, breakdown work, physicality, and pack development, has already made a real impact at Wimbledon.
His continued involvement brings consistency, ambition, and real quality to our programme as we build for the season ahead.
Great to have you back, Tom!
