Mark Bennett (President of Esher Rugby Club) said:

“We all would like to thank Neil for the great job he has done and for his long standing and amazing playing days at Esher. We all have super memories of him on the pitch! We wish him all the best for the future and very much look forward to continuing to see him down at the Club.”

Mike Brown (Sporting Director of Esher Rugby Club) said:

“I’d like to personally thank Neil for everything he’s given to Esher RFC as he moves on following changes to the coaching structure. From the moment I came in, Neil has been a huge support to me, honest, hard-working, and fully committed to the group. The effort he’s put in this season, and over a number of years at the club, has been clear to everyone. That includes not just his work as a coach, but also the contribution he made during his time as a player. He’s given a great deal to Esher over a long period, and that shouldn’t be underestimated. I’m really grateful for everything he’s done and wish him all the very best.”
