Exeter Chiefs flanker James Scaysbrook has been unveiled as Plymouth Albion's defensive coach.
The 32-year-old, who will combine the role with his playing duties at Sandy Park, was 'offered' to the Brickfields side, according to Plymouth head coach James Shanahan.
Scaysbrook, who came off the bench in the Chiefs' 36-10 win over La Rochelle on Thursday, made 172 appearances for Bath before joining Exeter.
He has gone on to play in more than 100 games since then, and he hopes his arrival can help struggling Albion.
"Hopefully we can instigate a few changes and get some good things happening over the next few months," said Scaysbrook, who already has coaching experience with Exeter University and Cleve and is a former England Saxon.
"We've got a bit of work to do at Plymouth but they've started to pick up over the last few weeks, so hopefully me coming in can give the lads a bit of energy and a few different ideas."
