Gary Walker will coach the backs
Yarnbury are hoping that brighter times are ahead as they prepare for the new season.
The club is aiming to make a concerted push for promotion to Yorkshire Division One.
And they will also be upgrading the floodlights at their Brownberrie Lane ground after receiving a grant from Sport England.
Training for the new season has already resumed on Tuesday and Thursday evenings under the guidance of club coach Bob Hood.
The Yorkshire Senior side and England under 20s. will again be assisted by forwards coach Colin Donkin and Carl Patterson who also is assistant coach for Yorkshire under-18s.
The backroom team has been strengthened by the presence of former Otley Director of Rugby Gary Walker.
He will assist with training drills and backs coaching.
Hood is looking to recruit new and experienced players to the club and anybody interested should call him on 07710172773.
