Alex Codling born 25 September 1973 in Lewisham is a former Rugby Union lock forward.
He won his only cap for England under Sir Clive Woodward against Argentina in 2002. He is currently the Head of Sport at Trinity School in Shirley. He was previously the coach with Ebbw Vale RFC whom he was with for a season and a half, saving them from relegation in his first half season and leading them to the runners up spot in his second and last season. It was reported that Codling drove from his Surrey home to every Ebbw Vale match and training session.
Codling left Ebbw Vale in April 2007 and was soon appointed forwards coach at National One outfit London Welsh. After leaving the Exiles in February 2008, Codling took up the role of forwards coach at Barking. In October 2008, he took over as head coach of Cardiff RFC.[2]
