Senior Assistant Coach Rod Seib will leave the Safeguard Global ACT Brumbies at the end of the 2025 season.
Seib joined the Brumbies in November 2020 from the Queensland Reds Academy, concentrating primarily on the ACT team’s back division and attack. Since his arrival, the club reached the final of Super Rugby AU in his first season and finished in the top four of Super Rugby Pacific in the last three campaigns.
The 49-year-old expressed his gratitude to the Brumbies organisation and the Canberra rugby community.
“It has been an honour and privilege to be a part of the Brumbies for the past five seasons,” Seib said.
“The players and staff at the Brumbies have made the experience rewarding and enjoyable. I will take with me many fond memories of the Canberra rugby community, which has been very welcoming and supportive.”
As a player, Seib played three times for the Reds, was Queensland club Player of the Year in 1999 and capped internationally for Australia 7s.
He went on to become a long-standing coach in Queensland Premier rugby, including coaching Brisbane City and Queensland Country in the National Rugby Championship. He took up his role with the Reds having previously spent six seasons as head coach at Sunnybank, before joining the Brumbies.
Alongside his role in the nation’s capital, Seib led the Australia XV squad that travelled to the United Kingdom in November for matches against Bristol Bears and England A.
ACT Brumbies chief executive Phil Thomson said: “We are extremely grateful for Rod’s contribution to the organisation since arriving in 2020. His coaching is of the highest order and his knowledge of the game is outstanding.
“We wish him all the best for his next venture. I have no doubt he’ll continue to be an enormous success.”
