LEICESTER, England (AP) — Former England international Geoff Parling will leave his role as assistant coach of Australia's national team to take over at English club Leicester Tigers next season.
The 41-year-old Parling will remain with the Wallabies until the end of the test series against the British & Irish Lions in August before joining up with Leicester, the team said Monday.
Parling was assistant coach with the Melbourne Rebels before moving to the Wallabies set-up.
As a player, Parling spent six seasons with Leicester, where he won two English league titles, and also represented the Lions.
