Highlanders Assistant Coach, Kendrick Lynn, to join Los Pumas
20 June 2024
Highlanders Attack Coach, Kendrick (Kenny) Lynn, has today been announced as the Assistant Coach for the Argentinian National Rugby Team, Los Pumas.
Lynn returned to the Highlanders as a coach in 2024 after spending his late playing and early coaching years with Lyon in France.
“When I returned from France my intention was always to see out my contract with the Highlanders, but an opportunity to Coach at the international level has always been a personal goal of mine. I am delighted to be taking up the role with the Pumas but obviously disappointed I will not be carrying on with the Highlanders. I hugely appreciate everything this organisation has done for me. I’ve loved this season and look forward to watching the team in the next few years,” said Lynn.
Highlanders CEO, Roger Clark, added, “We’re proud of Kenny and his appointment as a coach for the Pumas. We will certainly miss him in our coaching team however it’s natural, for both players and coaches, to strive for a national team. We wish Kenny, Becs and the kids the very best on their next adventure.”
An announcement about a replacement will be made ahead of the 2025 season later this year following.
