THE Welsh Rugby Union has appointed former Bristol Sports Group CEO Gavin Marshall as its new Chief Operating Officer.

Marshall joins the WRU from the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Bristol Sport group, which includes Bristol City (men and women); Bristol Bears (men and women) and Bristol Flyers.

He takes up his new post on Monday, November 3, but is already contributing to the WRU's ongoing review of the professional game in Wales.

The Union began recruiting for a new COO earlier this year when it was confirmed incumbent Leighton Davies would move to Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), a position he took up at the start of September.

Marshall's appointment is the final piece in the jigsaw after CEO Abi Tierney stated her intention to streamline the executive team at the Union.
