The experienced Jerome Paarwater has been named Head Coach of DHL Western Province for the upcoming Carling Currie Cup campaign, with Kabamba Floors and Nazeem Adams his assistant coaches.
The former DHL Western Province loose forward has been part of the Western Province Rugby coaching structures since 2003, when he first served as the DHL Western Province Forwards Coach.
In 2007 he was the DHL Stormers Forwards Coach and went on to be appointed Head Coach of the DHL Western Province team in the Vodacom Cup. In recent years he has taken charge of the DHL Western Province U21 and DHL Western Province U20 teams, nurturing talents such as Salmaan Moerat, Herschel Jantjies and Damian Willemse.
Springbok loose forward Kabamba Floors will be the Forwards Coach, having coached the DHL Western Province U20 pack this season, while the experienced former Junior Springbok coach Nazeem Adams will oversee the backline.
Paarwater said that he is looking forward to guiding a squad full of talent, as DHL Western Province aim for a record 35th Carling Currie Cup title.
"We have got great depth here, with exciting players coming through our ranks all the time.
"This campaign will be challenging given that it will run at the same time as the DHL Stormers' Vodacom United Rugby Championship season, but with the likes of Kabamba and Nazeem assisting me, I am confident that we can get the best out of our players and showcase the talent we have here," he said.
