Joe Simpson signs on for 10th RGC season
During his time at the school, Joe Simpson was one of the Rydal Penrhos Rugby Academy originals. The gifted forward benefitted significantly from the programme and the education provided by staff, which enabled him to play a significant role in RGC 1404‘s remarkable rise up the Welsh domestic pyramid into the Principality Premiership.
Simpson has racked up almost 200 appearances for the Gogs during an incredible career. The player recently revealed he has signed a new deal with the Parc Eirias-based side for a 10th campaign in the famous black shirt.
This represents another notable milestone for the front row presence, who will be tasked with producing the goods on the pitch and emerging as a leadership presence within the dressing room.
He is now one of RGC’s longest-serving players and one of many former Rydal Penrhos pupils who have spearheaded the Gogs’ charge since the team’s inception.
Simpson has also made noticeable strides in the coaching world to further boost his credentials. He’s been the driving force behind exciting developments at Bangor Rugby Club in recent years and is now the Head of Rugby at Bangor University.
Everyone at Rydal Penrhos would like to wish Joe and RGC the very best of luck for their 2022/23 campaign. We’re confident you’ll continue to do the region proud.
