Buccaneers PRO Michael Silke is delighted with the appointment.
Buccaneers have appointed Kolo Kiripati as their new head coach.
The Samoan back row played ten seasons with the Athlone club, captaining them to promotion to Division 1A of the AIL in 2016/17.
He'll be assisted by his compatriot Henry Bryce, who'll take charge of the backs and David Henshaw who'll act as assistant forwards and scrum coach.
