After retiring as a player due to injury, he served as coach of Somerset from 2001 to 2004.
He subsequently served as the director of the Somerset academy, and was appointed England"s fast-bowling coach from March 2006 in succession to Troy Cooley. He faced criticism that under his coaching many England fast-bowlers failed to progress, particularly Steve Harmison.
He has since moved back to his original administrative role within the England setup at Loughborough University, and was replaced by Allan Donald.
