England’s women’s rugby team, the Red Roses, is set to bolster its coaching staff with the appointment of Matt Ferguson, according to reports. The move comes after Shaun Edwards has been added to the setup.

Multiple outlets describe the same development: Ferguson is expected to join head coach John Mitchell’s staff for a second stint with England Women. The sources characterize Ferguson as a familiar figure within the program, suggesting the appointment is a return rather than a first-time role.

The reporting ties Ferguson’s potential appointment to the wider staffing changes following Edwards’ inclusion. While details on specific responsibilities or timing are not expanded in the available excerpts, the consistent focus across outlets is that the Red Roses plan to add Ferguson to Mitchell’s team as part of the post-Edwards coaching structure.
