The Eastern Province Kings have announced that former NMMU Madibaz coach, Brent Janse van Rensburg, has been appointed as head coach for the EP Kings Currie Cup campaign.
“Brent is a top calibre coach, having earned his stripes in the school system and at the NMMU Madibaz, and we are confident that he will play a significant role in our preparations going forward,” said EP Kings CEO Charl Crous.
"He is familiar with operations at the Kings and we are sure he will be able to bring the best out in the team for the Currie Cup campaign."
Janse van Rensburg will be assisted by Carlos Spencer (backline and skills coach), Darron Nell (lineout and forwards coach) and CJ van der Linde, who is still playing but will assist in the scrummaging department.
Janse van Rensburg who took over as head coach at NMMU in 2011 took the Madibaz to two consecutive Varsity Cup semi-finals in 2013 and 2014 before he joined Grey High School as Director of Rugby.
Earlier this year he joined the Lions as the u19 forwards coach before he was released from his contract due to personal reasons. He returned to Nelson Mandela Bay where he subsequently joined the Kings as Head of Defence during their Vodacom Cup campaign.
Janse van Rensburg will take up his new position with immediate effect, as the Kings are currently preparing for their Currie Cup friendlies against the Sharks, Bulls and Western Province ahead of their opener against the Lions on the 8th of August.
