Lee Radford: New Northampton Saints assistant coach 'intrigued' by switch to union
Lee Radford has admitted that accepting an assistant coach job with Northampton Saints is a "bit of a left-fielder".He was contemplating the possibility of a coaching job in Australia's NRL when the chance with Northampton came up.
Radford will focus on the Saints defence when he takes up his new role at Franklin's Gardens as part of director of rugby Phil Dowson's backroom team.And he has made sure to take plenty of advice from others who have made the same cross-code switch, including England defence coach Kevin Sinfield. Radford had some exposure to the 15-a-side game by playing for Hull RUFC, but his previous chance to move into union coaching with Dallas Jackals in the USA came to nothing because of the Covid pandemic.
