Harlequins bring in ex-Northampton coach Ferguson

Ferguson worked with England's women's side before his time at Northampton and has also been part of the England A coaching team

Former Northampton scrum coach Matt Ferguson has joined Danny Wilson's coaching team at Harlequins.

Saints won the Premiership title and reached the European Champions Cup final in the last two of Ferguson's seven seasons with the club.

Ferguson will take on the role of lead rugby transition coach at Quins ahead of the new season.

It is part of a shake-up of the club's backroom staff that has followed former director of rugby Billy Millard's departure earlier this year, with Andrew Sanger taking up a newly-created role as general manager while Gerard Mullen becomes first team skills coach.

"Following a thorough post-season review, we are excited to confirm a refined and strengthened performance structure for the 2025-26 season," chief executive officer Laurie Dalrymple told the Harlequins website.

"These changes reflect our commitment to sustained success on and off the pitch, and I'm particularly pleased to congratulate Andrew Sanger MBE on his new role as general manager and to welcome Matt Ferguson to the club as lead rugby transition coach.''

Quins begin the new Premiership season at home to champions Bath on Friday, 26 September.
