Hurricane Jamie Cameron signs with Rockingham as Premier Grade Coach

FORMER HURRICANE TAKES COACHING ROLE

Rockingham Rugby Union Club recently secured the services of former Wellington Hurricane Jamie Cameron as Premier Grade Coach for the 2010 season and beyond.

Cameron a veteran of 145 first class games in New Zealand and the United Kingdom will relocate to Rockingham in the coming weeks with his family, having agreed terms with the club.

“I’m hoping to bring a good structure and culture to the club as we move forward and develop the playing group.” Said Cameron.

Cameron (39), a former 1st 5/8 has a wealth of playing experience under his belt with numerous national honours including NZ under 17’s, NZ School Boys through to NZ Barbarians and All Black Trials.

With a career that includes playing seven Super Rugby games for the Wellington Hurricanes in 1996, he has also played for Taranaki and North Harbour in New Zealand’s domestic NPC.

When at the age of 27 a move to the UK saw Cameron subject to speculation he could play for Scotland (qualified due to his Scottish Grand farther), however this did not eventuate.

Over the course of his 145 game first class games Jamie amassed more than 1000 points while playing as a 1st 5/8.

On the coaching front Jamie guided Tukapa to a championship in the Taranaki competition for the first time in 33 years, all but repeating that success as the side finished runners up the following season.

Cameron has also worked as a technical advisor to Taranaki’s NPC team and coach’s.

“Rockingham Rugby Union Club is delighted to have secured a coach with the level of experience that Jamie has.” President Ross Cardy said “Jamie will bring a fresh approach along with his ample experience and a wealth of knowledge as the club looks to foster a new direction both on and off the field in 2010.”

While visiting Rockingham recently to meet with club officials and members Jamie also spent time doing recognisance for the move (under strict instruction from his wife). He also took the opportunity to meet with his new employer and club sponsor Smith’s Recruitment.

All interested players are welcome to join in the preseason training sessions held at Lark Hill sporting complex Tuesdays and Thursday at 6:30pm.
