After three years as Head Coach of Harlequins, Andy Friend will be moving on to take up the position of Head Coach for Super 14 club, ACT Brumbies.

Harlequins Director of Rugby, Dean Richards, said: "Andy has been a great coach to Harlequins over the last three years and he will, without doubt, leave a legacy that won't be forgotten. His contribution to the club has been invaluable, and a major factor behind our success in recent years. I am sure he will have great success in his new role."

"After all the tremendous work Andy has done for Harlequins, I am pleased to see him being offered the position of Head Coach of a Super 14 team," added Harlequins Chief Executive, Mark Evans. "I hope that we can send him on his way with a Guinness Premiership play off spot at the end of this campaign."
