Scarlets have appointed Eamon O’Carroll as their new defence coach.
The 38-year-old former Ireland international will join the Llanelli region from St Helens at the end of the Super League season.
O’Carroll has previously held roles as head coach of Bradford Bulls and Newcastle Thunder and was assistant coach at Catalans Dragons.
“The opportunity to join Scarlets was one that really excited me,” he said.
“I’ve always tried to challenge myself throughout my career and step outside my comfort zone because that’s when I feel I do my best work.
“Scarlets is a great club with huge history, strong values and clearly means everything to its supporters and the whole region in west Wales.”
