Former Ospreys boss Sean Holley will join the Scarlets coaching staff during this year's Six Nations Championship.
Holley will work alongside Simon Easterby and his coaches after it was announced that attack coach Mark Jones will be part of Wales' coaching unit in the Six Nations, which starts on February 2.
"To have a coach of Sean's experience, expertise and technical ability at a key time for us is vital as Mark goes away on Wales duty," said Easterby.
"Mark has contributed a great deal to our rugby environment and team this season and deserves his opportunity with Wales, and we are pleased to support the national set-up and his coaching development.
"Sean will be looking to continue the good work Mark has already put in place.
"We have a crucial period ahead of us while nine of our senior players are away during the Six Nations, and we need to make significant progress in the RaboDirect PRO12.
"We are fortunate, given the time-frame and being midway through the season, to have secured the services of someone of Sean's capability and background."

Why would anyone appoint him? Brings less than nothing to the role.

I can almost guarantee an instant improvement with the Scarlets with Sean involved. Playoffs look likely now :)
