He will combine this role with his work at St Helens Rugby League club and is no stranger to combining high profile roles having successfully done this in the past with Wales U20’s and Ebbw Vale.
He is in the process of completing his coaching group and is confident that this will be in place by the end of the weekend and will bring a mixture of experience and ambition .
Ebbw Vale’s chairman Jon Jones commented: “Having initially approached Jason for advice on the search for a new coaching group it became clear that Jason wanted to return to the club, that was the quickest and simplest decision I have ever made in rugby.
“He is a top quality coach and person who I have a lot of history with and a great working relationship. He understands the club, the community and has a clear idea how to improve team performance and the club overall. His track record at Ebbw Vale, Wales U20’s and St Helens speak for themselves and I am looking forward to working with him again. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank St Helen’s Rugby League Club for allowing Jason the space to make both roles manageable.
Strange added: “I’m really looking forward to going back to the club and I’m positive with the right individuals involved we can replicate past successes and make supporters proud again.
“The club has been very good to me over many years as a player and coaching. If I can give up some of my time and help in a small way then that is fantastic.
“It will mean a fair amount of commuting for myself between St Helens rugby league but it is helpful that the Super League season doesn’t start until mid February and runs through the summer months.”
