Over his 14-year career, Ross made over 120 appearances for the side's first team, before ascending to management last season as Attack and Transition Coach. Both the Chisholms and Brighton College have deep associations with Quins: Ross's brothers Alastair (Du. 2009-11) and James (Du. 2011-13) both played for the club (at one point all at once!), and the team has seen many Old Brightonians join its ranks in recent years, most notably internationals Marcus Smith (Le. 2011-17) and Jordan Turner-Hall (Ha. 2002-05). In February 2023 we were thrilled to welcome six OBs back to the Home Ground as part of a Harlequins Men's team visit.
Speaking to quins.co.uk, Ross said:
It’s a very special feeling to be named Head Coach of Harlequins Women. I have loved my time working with the players and coaches, and I’m excited to take on this very important role. I strongly believe we are in a good position to build on last season with some exciting new signings incoming, and some additional coaching support to be announced shortly.
Congratulations and good luck to Ross on his new role!
