Holcombe Hockey Club have appointed Katie Glynn to their women’s 1s coaching team.
Glynn, a current Great Britain assistant coach, played 134 times for New Zealand as a forward, scoring 77 goals.
Glynn joined the Great Britain staff in late 2020 and has been part of two Olympic campaigns as a coach since then, in Tokyo and Paris.
She said: “It’s an exciting opportunity to team up with Brad and work with a talented group of players.
“I am really looking forward to being part of the club and seeing what we can achieve in this second half of the season.”
Glynn will work alongside fellow New Zealander Brad Read in the coaching team.
They will also have the services of another compatriot to call upon with Black Sticks international Tessa Reid a key part of the Holcombe defence.
On Glynn’s appointment, club president David South said: “We are excited to have her on board and look forward to the impact she will have on this squad for the remainder of this season and moving forward.”
Glynn will first be involved with Holcombe in a competitive match on Saturday as Holcombe take on Bowdon in their second Premier Division Phase Two match at Bowdon Club.
