BRAD Davies has joined Cinderford as a player/coach, but last season's club captain Will Foden has left the club to become a full-time player with Doncaster Knights.

Davies, the brother of fly-half Mark Davies, moves to Dock Road from Moseley to become attack coach. The 30-year-old played for Gloucester from 2002-2007, representing England umder-21s and the Barbarians.

He had stints at Plymouth and Bedofrd before joining Moseley.

Cinderford director of rugby Andy Deacon said: "Brad possesses an excellent kicking game and is good at reading play and directing the attack. He will also give us stability and experienced decision making."
