University College Cork RFC have confirmed Michael Bradley as their new head coach and announced a strong coaching ticket behind the former PRO14 Coach of the Year for the upcoming Energia All Ireland League season.

The Irish Examiner reported in July that the former Connacht, Edinburgh and Zebre coach would be taking the reins at UCC following their relegation from Men’s Division 1A and on Wednesday the College unveiled a coaching team that includes former Irish internationals Ken O’Connell and Paul McCarthy as well as ex-Munster fly-half Scott Deasy.
