JOHN Brodley is remaining tight-lipped about about leaving the Oxford Rugby Partnership to become Marlow’s head coach.

Brodley (pictured) performed various coaching and organisational roles at the partnership between 2007 and 2012.

But he is now masterminding Marlow’s plans for the new South West 1 East season, where his opponents will include Witney.

“I have just gone quietly,” said Brodley, who has also coached Chinnor, Banbury, Bicester and Oxfordshire.

“Oxford are not putting out a statement and nor am I.”
