TURNER-HALL RETURNS TO QUINS IN NEW COACHING ROLE
Friday, 24th July 2020 @ 11:00
PREMIERSHIP-WINNING CENTRE JORDAN TURNER-HALL RETURNS TO QUINS
IN NEW COACHING ROLE
A fan favourite and Quins stalwart during the Club’s most
successful years, former centre Turner-Hall returns to The Stoop
in his new role as Academy Coach.
Returning to his old stomping ground after retiring from his
playing career in 2015, the former England centre re-joins the
Quins fold having spent the last year as Head of Rugby at
Ipswich School.
The promising young coach has also spent time working with the
Northampton Saints Academy, Westcliff RFC, Wimbledon RFC,
Hurstpierpoint College and Rosslyn Park since retiring.
The 32-year-old also spent time with The Harlequins Foundation
and METTLE programme (mental resilience) shortly after hanging
up his playing boots five years ago.
Turner-Hall amassed 181 appearances in the Quarters during an
11-year playing career, lifting the 2011 Amlin Challenge Cup and
2012 Aviva Premiership titles alongside current players such as
Club captain Chris Robshaw, Danny Care, Mike Brown and Joe
Marler.
The popular Club figure joins former Harlequins players Jim
Evans and Charlie Mulchrone, and 2014 Rugby World Cup-winning
coach with England Women Gary Street in the Club’s academy,
overseen by Academy Manager Chim Gale.
On Turner-Hall’s return to the Club, Head of Rugby Paul Gustard
said: “It’s fantastic news to have Jordy returning to the Club
as he takes the next step and progresses in his coaching
journey.
“As a player Jordan was a physical, uncompromising centre who
gave everything to the Quarters, and I have no doubt that he
will bring the same level of commitment, energy and passion to
his new role within our academy setup.
“During the interview process he was articulate, energetic and
clearly emotionally attached to the Club. He showed a great
depth of knowledge and acumen, but it was also clear he is very
driven to add more skills to his coaching toolbox. It is
important in players’ formative playing years they have good
role models and people that genuinely care.
“First and foremost Jordan a great guy and I am excited for him,
for the Club and for the journey we are embarking on.
“Welcome home, Jordan. We look forward to the adventure!
Turner-Hall said: “It’s an exciting time to be involved with the
academy, with the salary cap and the emphasis on homegrown
players. It’s nice to come back to such a special place having
been away from it for a few years. It’s made me hungrier and
more determined to succeed as a coach.
“I felt like the timing was perfect for a new challenge and I
believe I’m ready to add value to the Club within the academy.
“It’s a new chapter for me as a coach and I’m excited to learn
and develop in a great environment. There’s a great buzz around
the dynamic coaching team Gussy has put together so I’m looking
forward to learning off them as well.
“With this new role, for me, it’s all about building
relationships and knowing the person before the player. Once I
can do that with the young lads I believe I can understand what
makes them tick and hopefully I can support them in reaching
their goals and dreams both on and off the pitch.
“I’m looking forward to working with some of the most talented
boys in the country and if I can bottle up my experience and
passion for the Club and hand it on to them along the way, then
even better.”

Brilliant news, I like JTH as a man, and a player, and always
felt it was tragically bad luck he had to retire the way he did.
I hope he has a long happy spell coaching the Quarters.

Very pleased about this. He's sensibly grabbed a few years
experience out of the limelight before heading back.
Half of our most successful ever centre pairing.

I quite liked "One Man Rolling Maul" as a nickname for him. But
it's great to see him staying in rugby and back at Quins,
especially given how his career was cut short by injury.
I don't suppose George Lowe would be interested in rekindling
the partnership? Such a complete player with great technique and
reading of the game.

goes on to do great things as a coach.

Very unexpected. Good luck to the skinny Basteraud!
(When Quins played Stade Francais away, the Quins boys wound him
up by referring to Basteraud as "a fat JTH")
