Pukekohe Rugby Club has announced that Michael Porter will return to coach their Premier team for the 2023 season and will be joined by a pair of iconic former players.

Double centurion and long-serving PIC Steelers hooker Mark Price and former club centurion and PIC Steelers skipper Kevin Farrell will serve as assistant coaches, giving the club a wealth of experience to call upon.

Porter led his young side to within touching distance of a spot in the McNamara Cup final and his team looms as one on the rise heading into 2023.

The highly respected Vishnu Powar, Clayton Mariner and Pat Goscomb complete the management group.
