Former England international Rachel Yankey OBE has been named London Bees Head Coach for the rest of the season.
Yankey earned 129 caps for her country and will now undertake her first head coach role the Women’s Championship after joining the staff at the club last summer.
“I look forward to continuing to support the club and guide the team for the remainder of the season,” Yankey said after being appointed.
