LONDON: Dai Young has ended his long spell in charge of English Premiership side Wasps a week after he said he was "stepping back" from taking charge of the first team.

The 52-year-old former Wales and British & Irish Lion prop has been in charge since 2011 but little has gone right since the club lost to Exeter in the 2017 Premiership final.
