Welcome back Darren Purse

Re: Darren Purse

I hope he does well, always a good character. I would always notice at the awards night when the other players had buggered off as soon as they could he would be around until the end having pictures and signings autographs.

Very true.

Re: Welcome back Darren Purse

Very happy with this.

When I was living in Cowbridge he brought his son along to train with the town's under-10's and would stay to watch, whilst inevitably chatting to other dads who were keen to talk to him.

Straightforward, sensible and displayed a nice touch with the youngsters, understanding they weren't all destined for stardom.

Seems he's had some coaching experience since then so good luck to him, I don't think he'll need it.

I wonder how his appointment came about, does he still live in the Vale?

We've poached him from Oxford
