Although not imminently about to retire, London Irish winger Topsy Ojo is exploring post playing options. He's the club's record try scorer, and is in his 15th year with the club, and Ojo knows that he must now begin to start thinking about his career after playing rugby has come to an end. "I think it's something people talk about, but aren't completely aware of," Ojo told 麻豆社 Radio Berkshire's Rita Green and Jack Winstanley. "You want to enjoy the career you have... you get this chance to play rugby for, if you're lucky, ten years, fifteen years, but then there's a whole other life afterwards. "It's important to try and figure out what that's going to look like." And Ojo says coaching is one potential option for him after his playing career is over. "I've just finished my level 3 qualification with the RFU, and this year I'm actually coaching the London Irish Wild Geese amateur team. "It teaches you different tools. "Obviously I have a reputation as Topsy Ojo the player, but Topsy Ojo the coach is a completely different personality."
