Rotherham Titans are sad to announce the sudden death of Steve Worrall MBE, who died on Thursday, January 2, 2025. Known as ‘Barrel’, officials at Weston-Super-Mare RFC said that the Club is “shocked and saddened” to report the passing of their head coach, who had returned to coach them in November 2024.
Steve was Weston-super-Mare's head coach between July 2011 and October 2014 before spending ten years with Chew Valley RFC, initially as Assistant Coach and then becoming Head Coach.
Steve played for Rotherham for seven years from 1989-1996, helping the Club progress through the leagues, eventually leading to promotion to the Premiership.
Steve arrived at Clifton Lane soon after the arrival of Kevin Plant and went on to make nearly 70 appearances, scoring 222 points.
Throughout his time at Rotherham he was heavily involved with the RAF, serving for more than 35 years and he was awarded an MBE in 2011.
In later years he moved into coaching and spent several years as a coach at North Walsham RFC and Peterborough RUFC and as a player, head coach, and assistant director of Rugby with the Royal Air Force Rugby Union.
The Club sends their condolences to Steve’s family, friends and colleagues, and to the wider rugby community.
Funeral details will be made public in due course.
