Timeline
In May 2017 he was appointed Head coach at Birmingham Moseley whilst maintaining a role as specialist break-down coach at Worcester
Cross worked as Worcester Warriors as defence coach from 2013
Cross retired from professional rugby at the end of the 2009/2010 season due to persistent knee problems.
In April 2008, Cross signed a new two-year contract with Edinburgh.
As part of the draft of all players from the Scottish professional teams (Edinburgh and Glasgow Warriors) to the Scottish Premier One rugby clubs, Cross was selected by Selkirk and was available to play for them during the 2008–09 season when not required by Edinburgh or any of the national teams.
In addition to his playing duties for Edinburgh, Cross was the first team coach for Murrayfield Wanderers for the 2008–09 season. He was then appointed first team coach of Edinburgh Accies for 3 seasons, 2010-2012, where he appointed his Edinburgh team-mate, Andrew Easson as backs coach.
Cross was appointed club captain at the start of the 2007–08 season alongside Allister Hogg as first team captain. Cross retained the club captaincy for the 2008–09 season, with Mike Blair as first team captain.
In 2007, Cross represented Scotland during the final four rounds of the 2006-07 IRB Sevens World Series in Hong Kong, Adelaide, London and the inaugural Edinburgh Sevens at Murrayfield.
During the 2006–07 season, Cross was loaned by Edinburgh to English National Division One club Waterloo for one month.
On 21 January 2004, the IRB Regulations Committee ruled that he was free to play for Scotland having demonstrated a "close, credible and established national link with the country" and accepted that "certain rights flow from birth in a British military hospital". The Committee's statement went on to say that "if the player, his mother and/or grandfather had not been on military service and therefore born in British military hospitals, the strong likelihood is that given the historical circumstances and family lineage at least one of them would have been born in Scotland. The committee also took the view that close links to Scotland were further demonstrated by the fact that the player, who was eligible to play for other unions, refrained from representing such other unions. In particular he turned down opportunities to play with the England national representative under 21s team in 2002."
Cross was educated at Sedbergh School. He joined Edinburgh Rugby in 2003 after starting his professional career with London Wasps. He captained the Wasps under-21 side for three years, the culmination of which was beating Bristol in the U21 Final at Twickenham in 2003.
In 2002, Cross turned down the opportunity to play with the England Under-21 team and in 2003 joined the Scottish national training squad pending a ruling from the IRB on his qualification to play for Scotland.
Cross represented Scotland Under-19 in the 2000 IRB/FIRA Junior World Cup.
Simon Terriss Cross (born 3 February 1981 in Mauritius) is a Scottish rugby union coach and former player, currently defence coach at Worcester Warriors. He played in the back row as a flanker for Edinburgh Rugby.
