CARDIFF :Matt Sherratt, who served as Wales interim coach earlier this year, has quit his job at Cardiff to return to the national team set-up as an assistant to Steve Tandy, who took over from him.

Wales said on Monday that Sherratt will join Tandy's backroom staff as Wales attack coach on a full-time basis.

Sherratt took over as Wales caretaker for three games in the Six Nations following the departure of Warren Gatland and stayed for the July tour of Japan, which saw Wales finally end their record run of 18 consecutive Test defeats.

He leaves six days before Cardiff kick off their United Rugby Championship season against the Lions on Saturday.
