Jake Brady says the challenge of leading his own team and being the man responsible for the big decisions was too good to turn down after swapping National Two North champions Leeds Tykes for relegated Harrogate RUFC. The 36-year-old will become the full-time director of rugby at Rudding Lane at the end of June, after six years as a player at Leeds and four years as the club’s general manager.
