WHAT’S INCLUDED
The Ambassador
Kevin Barrett
- Captained England during the 2009-10 HSBC 7s series
- Over 100 appearances for Exeter Chiefs
- Current Saracens strength and conditioning coach
Kevin Barrett is a former England 7s captain and scrum half for London Irish, Exeter Chiefs and Saracens.
A graduate of Stonyhurst College in Lancashire, Kev initially joined London Irish but with few first team opportunities he made the switch to Exeter Chiefs at the same time as their move to Sandy Park. After 5 successful seasons including promotion to the Premiership, Kev moved back to the south east to add to Saracens excellent array of scum halfs at the time including Neil De Kock and Richard Wigglesworth. The intense competition in that position allowed Kev more time to spend playing 7s where he successfully captained England to a famous victory in the Wellington Sevens; a competition where England had previously failed to prosper.
At 32, Kev took the difficult decision to hang up his boots and is now back at Saracens working in their strength and conditioning team.

Built in 1972 as a single hotel and leisure complex, the club has rapidly expanded to over 2,500 private residences beautifully blended within the three championship golf courses, 28 court padel and real tennis centre and FC Cartagena training base.
In addition, La Manga Club offers 2 cricket wickets with a multi-lane training facility, a sports city with 5 football / rugby pitches and 5 netball courts, a gym, countless outdoor swimming pools, a 5 star hotel and over 35 bars and restaurants. You truly get a world class experience at La Manga Club and with the resort situated just 30 minutes from the nearest airport (Murcia) and only an hour from Alicante, La Manga Club is accessible from the UK in under 3 hours.
