Deacon moves from Leicester Tigers, staying within the Gallagher Premiership, and will take on a broader coaching role than his predecessor. Trevor Woodman, who made 140 appearances for Gloucester and earned 22 England caps—including as part of the 2003 Rugby World Cup-winning squad—will leave his assistant coaching role this summer to join Connacht Rugby in the United Rugby Championship.
