Robbie Farah hasn't wasted any time moving on to the next chapter of his life after winding up his 20-odd years as a football player and coach. Less than a week after finishing up as assistant coach of the Tigers, Farah has started a new position as head of partnerships with sports and adventure travel firm TWO4SEVEN. Farah founded the company a few years ago with Jai Ayoub - son of well-known player manager Sam - but has stepped up to play a far greater role. He is also working as an ambassador, alongside the great Johnathan Thurston, for investment firm Barclay Pearce. "TWO4SEVEN do all sorts of travel groups - from the Super Bowl to Formula One to the big European soccer, even African safaris," Farah told Wide World of Sports. "Being so involved in football has prevented me from being as hands on as I wanted to be but this is the new me. "I even plan to go to Las Vegas next year. "And with the ambassador role, JT and I want to help young players invest their money - too many in the past have just wasted it away." Farah admits he hasn't quite come to terms with his changing life. "Right now it feels just like another off season," he said. "It will probably sink in when the boys all start pre-season training again."
