The Llanelli Scarlets today unveiled a world class coaching team to work with new head coach Nigel Davies.

Defence coach will be John Muggleton, fitness coach will be Brad Harrington and forwards coach remains Paul Moriarty. Contracts were signed over the weekend.

Muggleton is a highly experienced former defence coach of Australia with whom he spent 10 years. He helped them to World Cup glory in 1999 and to victory over the Lions in 2001. Born in Sydney, the 48-year-old joins the Scarlets on July 1st on a two-year contract.

Harrington is assistant strength and conditioning coach at Super 14 finalists the New South Wales Waratahs and from 2004 spent three years as strength and conditioning coach with Leinster. Born in Sydney, the 34-year-old assisted Ireland in their build-up to last year's World Cup. He joins the Scarlets this month June to prepare the pre-season fitness programme.

Moriarty is the Scarlets current forward coach and led the squad in the final few weeks of the 2007-08 season.

Scarlets chief executive Stuart Gallacher said: "I'm delighted with this superb team which will help propel us into an exciting new era. John and Brad bring great vision, knowledge and skill - and we've been very impressed with Paul in his time here.

"The coaching team, along with our latest player signings and the fabulous new stadium illustrate how determined we are to thrive at the highest level of the professional game.

"I know that Nigel Davies is relishing the prospect of working with John, Brad and Paul."
