Webber’s coaching experience includes leading the Jersey Reds, and he brings extensive knowledge from his playing days to support the younger players in the squad.

As a player, Webber represented Wasps, Bath, and Sale Sharks in the Premiership, and earned 16 caps for England.

Webber is excited for a new chapter in North London:

“I am delighted to be joining Saracens, a club I have admired for a long time. I would like to thank Chicago Hounds who gave me a fantastic opportunity after the demise of Jersey Reds.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Chicago and the MLR but the opportunity to come back to the Premiership is one I could not turn down.”

Director of Rugby Mark McCall is pleased to have Webber heading to StoneX:

“Rob is a bright, ambitious young coach and we look forward to him becoming part of the team.

“Everyone who has been coached by or worked alongside Rob in the last few years have been incredibly complimentary not only about his attention to detail but also his people skills.”
