Since being forced to retire through injury at Wasps in 2015, former England U21 centre Chris has spent the past four and a half years working for the club, initially as Head of Off-field Development at Wasps Rugby.

For the last two years, he has been Head of Partnership Delivery for the Rugby Club, Wasps Netball and the Ricoh Arena.

The 36-year-old is now looking forward to bringing a wealth of sporting experience, knowledge and business contacts to his local professional club, living nearby in Bedford, and we look forward to working with him in the new year.
