Baugh will join the Dragons’ strength and conditioning team, after five years working at Wasps in the English Premiership.
Prior to working at Wasps, he worked under Warren Gatland as part of the strength and conditioning team for Wales for three years, and was 13 years at Cardiff Blues – first as a player and later as a defence and then conditioning coach.
Dean Ryan, Dragons Director of Rugby, said: “Dan brings a huge amount of experience with him and will help to bolster our coaching team.
“We are focused on making our support team to be the very best that it can be to nurture and develop the Regions talent. Dan’s experience and background will be key in helping us to get the best out of our players, both on and off the pitch.
“He knows the game in Wales, knows what it takes to produce quality players, and more importantly knows, has a proven track record of working with international players. His appointment is a big step towards moving the region forward.”
