Ross has taken up a playing/coaching role with Malahide RFC ahead of their first season in Division 2C.

As well as being added to Malahide’s playing panel ahead of the season opener against Bective Rangers, the veteran tighthead prop will also join the north Dublin’s management team as scrum coach.

Good luck to Ross and the boys!
