Former Gloucester star Mark Mapletoft has taken on a new role at Harlequins.

The 47-year-old, a fly-half and full-back for Gloucester from 1994 to 1999, has taken over as academy coach at the London club.

Alongside his new role Mapletoft will assist with coach mentoring and continue to support sections of the professional rugby environment.

After nine years with the senior team serving as backs coach, attack coach and most recently head coach, Mapletoft has decided to step away from the first team environment to concentrate his skillset on pathway development and coach education.

Mapletoft explained: “I am passionate about the whole coaching spectrum and this is a great opportunity for me to develop my skills and knowledge in another area.

“Player development is central to that and this presents the opportunity for me to continue developing our Harlequins Academy as well as our elite performance pathway.

“The impact this area has on our sustainable success is massive.”

Mapletoft scored more than 450 points during his time with Gloucester and also was capped once by England.
