| Dulanjana Wijesinghe |
Sri Lankan rugby stalwart Dulanjana Wijesinghe is set to embark on a new chapter, officially taking the helm as Head Coach of Sri Lions SC for the upcoming 2025/2026 season. The appointment marks a significant step for both the former Wesley College star and the club, with the new season kicking off later next month.
Wijesinghe brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record from the domestic rugby scene to his new role.
His credentials are deeply impressive, blending a celebrated playing career with extensive coaching experience. As a former Wesley College player in 2008 and 2009, he was the highest try scorer in his final year.
He transitioned seamlessly into coaching, first handling his alma mater, Wesley, from 2016 to 2020, before moving to St. Joseph’s College.
Most notably, Wijesinghe has been serving as the Head Coach of the prestigious St. Joseph’s College rugby outfit, a role he held in 2024 after a three-year stint as their Assistant Coach from 2021. Concurrently, he honed his skills at the club level, working as an Assistant Coach with Police SC from 2022-2024.
This move to Sri Lions SC represents a carefully planned progression in Wijesinghe’s coaching career. His immediate experience as a Head Coach at a top-tier school, combined with his recent involvement in the club game, positions him perfectly to elevate Sri Lions.
