Munster have appointed Roger Randle as the province's new attack coach on a two-year deal.

Subject to obtaining a valid work permit, Randle will join Munster from the Chiefs in the summer following the completion of the Super Rugby season.

He will replace Mike Prendergast, who will depart Munster at the end of the season to join Bath.

Randle, who won two All Blacks caps, has been with the Chiefs for eight years and worked with Munster head coach Clayton McMillan at the Hamilton-based club.

In his 31-year career as player and coach, the well-travelled Randle has represented clubs and unions across the world, including in New Zealand, France, Italy and Japan.

"I am incredibly excited to be joining a prestigious club like Munster who have such a rich history and incredible supporters," said Randle.

"I'm really looking forward to reuniting with Clayton but my focus for now is on the Chiefs and having a successful end to the season."

McMillan said he was "very pleased" with Randle's appointment.

"I have worked with Roger for many years, and he has always demonstrated an incredible work-ethic and ingenuity when it comes to the attack aspect of the game," said McMillan.

"We are thrilled to have him come on board and believe he will complement the already excellent work that (skills and assistant attack coach) Mossy Lawler is doing on a day-to-day basis."
