Rugby at Huddersfield is played against the spectacular
backdrop of the Lockwood viaduct which was built in the
1840’s to carry the Huddersfield to Sheffield railway line over
the River Holme. The 45 metre high, 34 arch, Grade 2 listed
structure bisects the site in the green and pleasant valley in
which the club grounds nestle.
Gareth Lewis is the Head Coach at the club. He started
and ended his playing career at Huddersfield with a spell
playing in the higher echelons in between. Lewis says he is
immensely proud to be back at the club in a coaching capacity.
“My association with the club goes back 24 years and I have
just completed my 6th season as Head Coach. There is real
positivity at Huddersfield. We have an enormous number
of people who devote a huge amount of time to the club on
and off the field which drives our whole club culture and has
created a rugby environment in which players at all levels
can thrive. Success at first team level is based on ‘old school’
values. It would be great to be able to progress to the third tier
in the English Rugby Union pyramid but our achievements so
far have been built on a strong and sustainable model which
has served the club well. We are enjoying our current success
and I am convinced we have a fantastic future ahead of us.”
