NEIL MITCHELL - Director of Rugby
Possibly the most consistent and well respected Director of Rugby in the National Leagues, Neil's playing career bridges Midlands semi-professional and professional rugby with seasons at Moseley and Coventry before rejoining Stourbridge for the 2003-2004 season. Along the way Neil captained the British Police team for whom he was capped 50 times and also ran out for the famous Barbarians.
In addition to his role as Director of Rugby at Stourton Park, Neil is now head coach of the British Police.
Known affectionately as 'The Hoff' by his legions of Stourbridge fans, Neil manages to combine a sense of humour with the serious business of maintaining a high quality, ambitious coaching and playing team at Stourton Park. He is always looking to push the bench mark higher and welcomes hard-working, dynamic and ambitious players to Stourbridge which has a well-earned reputation for having the best facilities of any Midlands club outside of the Guinness Premiership.
