Dale “The Chief” McIntosh is to take up the role of Director of Rugby and Head Coach at ambitious Brecon RFC from this summer. The Pontypridd legend is stepping down from Merthyr RFC at the end of this season after six highly successful years at the coaching helm. You can read all about his reasons for leaving here.
He will then turn his attention to his latest venture with National League Division 1 East side Brecon who are looking for him to guide them into the Championship. The former Welsh international, now 52, has signed a three-year deal with the club.
He will be joined by his long-time coaching assistant Gavin Dacey and will take up the reins on July 1. McIntosh is the latest high-profile appointment by the club, who previously had another ex-Wales back row man and real character at the helm in Andy Powell.
